Roosevelt Could Bolster 

His Reputation bj^ Being 

Candid About NRA 

By FRANK E. KEXT 

WASHINGTON, March 27 
n WOULD be simpler, better for the 
country as a whole and probably in 
the end, more beneficial to his own ■■ 
j reputation If Mr. Roosevelt could ' 
bring himself to be candid about the I 
collapsed NRA. But, apparently, de- ■ 
I spite those noble "My friends, I shall 
jbe the first to tell you" words with I 
Which he launched his experiments in ' 
1933, that is exactly what he cannot 
do. 



I THE TRUTH is the drive now on to 
I j preserve the life of the NRA is moti- 
3 f vated by two things— first, a desire to 
J I save the face of the administration 
I by avoiding the confession of failure; 
j second, to hold on the federal pay roll 
j the 7700 employes of the NRA organ- 
j ization, who have established what 
amounts to a vested Interest thereto.' 
i Until a few weeks ago, however, such 
'was the resentment against the NRA 
that the chances of continuation were 
not good. They have been coMider- 
ably enhanced by the recent success 
of Mr. Roosevelt In soothing the sav- 
age labor leaders, who had g'otten 
themselves into a very angry state of 
mind toward the NRA and the ad^ 
ministration generally, and Mr. Don- 
ald Richberg, the great co-ordinator, 
in particular. 



THK, NRA is a failure about which 
tliere is little room for argument. 
Wholly aside from the numerous 
court decisions which have been ren- 
dered against it, the thing has failed 
I Mr. Roosevelt knows it has faUed Its 
[first executive, its second executive 
and Its present executive all know it 
has failed. So does everybody else. 
Its failure has been announced in 
Longress and out— proclaimed by its 
foes-admitted by its friends. It lit- 
erally has no defenders save those 
paid to defend it, For months it has 
been in a progressive state of de- 
moralization and confusion, unable to 
function with even approximate ef- 
fectiveness, in the same relative posi- 
tion as the Volstead net before repeal, j 

YET INSTEAD-^Tfaclng the facts 
about this vastly, over-ballyhooed 
scheme with which the utterly im- 
practical dream of a perfectly regu- 
lated nation was to be realized Mr 
Roosevelt lends substance to the il-' 
hr^T^'^' «^"yihing is lovely and 

«.f„ , ,.'* ^'^^^ •'""=^^^- When the 
actual situation is considered it is 
almost incredible that he can sustain 
such a position. It would not be pos- 
sible save in a period when the speed 
the &>ze and the number of gov-Trn- 
menta! activitie.. are such that It Is 
not^ possible to center press or public 
attention upon any one thing lone 
k-nough to be efifective ^ 

L^'^r"^' '° ^^' confusion of his 

heached o cancel the government ap- ' 
Nal m the NRA case now before the 

upreme court, and let the antLgov! 

rnment Side Win by default. It wis 
thich a decision as to the constitu- 
jore Congress adjourns. 



THEY— Mr, William Green and Mr. 
John Lewis - had denounced Mr. 
Richberg in unstinted terms. They 
had called him a traitor, a Judas, a 
double-crosser They had, in fact, 
gone tJie limit in denunciation of the 
unfortunate Richberg, to such an ex- 
tent that stories were written by vari- 
ous astute correspondents to the ef- 
fect that his "days of usefulness" 
were over, and he was "on his way 
out." However, they appear to have 
been wrong. The other day Mr. 
Roosevelt had Mr. Green. Mr. Lewis. 
Mr. Hillman and Mr. Richberg all 
together at the White House. There 
was, it is said quite a lively confer- 
ence, in which the labor leaders 
shouted at Mr. Richberg and gener- 
ally "laid him out." 

BUT, WHEN it was all over, another 
marvelous record for the Roosevelt 
"personal charm" had been estab- 
lished. Mr. Rlcnberg, it is true, 
emerged from the conference looking 
a little pale, and there was still a 
trace of truculence about the labor 
leaders— but an accord had been 
reached. Not only was Mr. Richberg 
to head a new NRA board, but the 
labor leaders, their faith renewed, 
were behind him and the President 
in the effort to prolong its existence, 
secure in the belief that section 7a 
would not again be "scuttled." 

IT SEEMED, indeed, quite a triumph 
for Mr, Roasevelt to have pacified 
these leaders and brought about 
peace bet/ween them and the great 
co-ordinator, but there is an angle 
of It not so pleasant to contemplate- 
to wit, the nrice. It seems to be gen- 
erally accepted that the labor leaders 
received certain assurances sufli- 
clently satisfactory to make swallow- 
ing Mr. Richberg very ea.sy, indeed. 
The conference was hardlv over be- 
fore the report found its way into 
print that the administration was 
now favorably inclined toward the 
Wagner labor dispute bill, a measure 
extremely close to the labor leader 
heart and toward which Mr Roose- 
velt has been publicly non-committal 
and to which he wa.5 privately under- 
stood to be opposed. It is also notice- 
able that Since the White House 
conference the labor leaders have ex- 



( 



pressed much increased confidence 
In the passage of the 30-hour-a-week 
bill, to which the President has pub- 
licly expressed opposition. 

THERE IS, of course, no way to 
verify how far Mr. Roasevelt went 
with the labor leaders on these two 
proposals, how much they took for 
granted, how far he will depart from 
his present position. But it is absurd 
to believe they made up with Mr. 
Richberg, fell in line with the NRA 
and the President's wishes, without 
getting something — or, at least, think- 
ing they did. The chief reason for 
believing that, however sympathetic 
they may have thought him, Mr. 
Roosevelt gave no assurances that 
either the Wagner or the 3n-hour bill 
would be acceptable to him is that it 
Is so clear what either of these would 
do to industry. With his whole polit- 
ical future staked on an industrial 
recovery, he could hardly find two 
measures better calculated to retard 
it,

Discussion of 
Our Problem: 



L. C. H. 



!l 



1 I 



The Pilgrim Land 

Our locality sells recreation. It 
IS a commodity as merchantable as, 
any other article although it is 
not actually wrapped up and sold 
over the counter. 

We are not in the habit of look- 
ing upon it in that way, as some- 
thing we have to sell," something 
we must advertise and something 
that we can promote as we pro- 
mote other kinds of business. 

The recreation business of the 
state of iVIassachusetts is second 
only in value, in dollars and cents, 
to the textile industry, and in this 
particular locality it is our great- 
est resource. 

As such it is capable of expan- 
sion. The expansion which has 
come to Florida and to Southern 
California did not come by acci- 
dent. It came about by united 
community effort, by creative 
salesmanship and by hard com- 
munity work. 

In selling our recreational serv- 
ice we are selling something more 
than climate and natuiai re- 
sources; we are selling servillC, we 
are selling ourselves, our hospital- 
ity and our personalities. Those 
who come anjong us as casual vis- 
itors may be impressed by our 
summer climate, by our scenic 
beauties, by our land and water,, 
but more than all they weigh the 
chai-actcr of our people, their- 
kindliness and their hospitality. 

During the coming summer , 
thousands of new visitors are ex- ' 
pected to visit the scene of activ- ; 
ity along the Cape Cod canal, i 
There is going on at our verv doors 
some collosal building operations, 
comjfarable in importance to what 
is going on in the Tennes.see Val- 
ley and at Boulder Dam. 

There have been built over the 
canal two of the most beautiful 
bridges in the world. The railroad 
bridge now in course of construc- 
tion is to be the largest of its 
kind in the world and will focus 
'the attenti<m of leading world en- 
gineers and bridge construction- 
ists. 

The canal when finished accord- 
ing to the five-yeai' plan of the w^ar 
deiuirtment will be the wide.st 
and the deepest canal in the world. 
It will carry nwre traffic than the 
Panama canal and will be of the 
greatest importance to shipping. 

Those of us who live near it are 
just waking up to its possibilitie.s 
as a major attraction which will 
brmg people from, all over the 
country to sec it during the course 
"f Its construction. It will be suit- 



ably dramatized by the tteaication 
service which will be held in 
August and by the Old Home Week 
celebration which the towns in 
Southeastern Massachusetts are to 
hold in connection with it. 

It will bring thousands of new 
people among us who will not only 
view the .scene of activities but 
who will come into our towns and 
villages over our fine highwavs and 
becoming impressed with our 
scenic and recreational assets and 
who will plan other visits and pem 
ha)>s residence for long or short 
duration. 

Ei^ery bit of publicity which is 
«iven to the canal project will be a 
factor in f^aining new friends and 
m increasing our sunmier popula- 
tion. 

No longer can we confine our ac- 
tivities to the particular town or 
village in which we happen to live 
but must consider the interests of 
liie locality as a whole and co-op- 
erate in the general i)]ans which 
tend to build up good will and en- 
hance the attractiveness of the 
whole legion. 

The need of consideration of 
these things is great. While the 
canal zone is mostly confined to 
the town of Bourne" its influence 
will extend througliout the entire 
section of the country known as 
Cape Cod and the larger territory 
comprising .Southeastern Massa- 1 
chusetts. Neaby cities and towns i 
are waking up to what is going on 
and arc hastening to take advan- 
tage of it. The mayors and inomi- 
nent citizens of New Bedford, Fal! 
River, Taunton, Brockton and .W- 
tleboro are realizing that theiil 
cities must be traversed by tour- | , 
ists bound for this immediate sec- 1 
tion and they are hastening to lend I 
their co-operation in any pla!\s I 
which may be made for the exploit- 
ing of the entire region. 

Keeping in mind that we are 
selling recreation we should have 
a full realization of what we have 
to offer. We need a survey of our 
natural resources, of our magjiifi- 
cent beaches, of our .scenic village,-! 
of our woods and bays, lakes ani 
rivers, in order (hat we may knov 
what we have and be able to i'l- 



telligently answer the queetioj^ 
^which will be asked us by visitors. 
In short we shotdd know South- 
eastern Massachusetts o^rselve.^ 
before we can become effective 
salesmen of our own locality. 
■ We little realize the attractive- 
ness of our region to those who 
live west of the Hudson river. We 
have more than 100 million of 
people as our potential customers 
anxious to sample our climate, our 
scenery, our invigorating breezes 
and to steep themselves in the his- 
torical facts and to realize that we 
have a background such as few 
localities have. Our region is 
known from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific as the Land of the Pil- 
;rrinis, the land where America be- 

We have national shrines in Ply- 
luonth, Provincetown and Dighton 
Rock. We have the spot in which 
Aqierican commerce began, we 
.have the place where the first 
declaration of independence was 
-written. Our country abounds in 
historical lore extending back to 
the days of the Pilgrim Fathers. 
We can point out the sites of the 
lormer homes of historical char- 
acters, and we can proudly boast 
of colonial days when America was 
young and ti-11 tales and traditions 
of those by-gone days when all 
the rest of the country was a wild- 
erness inhabitated only by Indians 
and wild animals. 

Our first task should be to ac- 
quaint ourselves with all these 
tacts, our next task is to welcome 
our visitors cordially and serve 
them to the best of our ability. We 
should allow nothing of an un- 
.sightly nature to grow up within 
our iimit.s; we should retain as 
far as po.ssible the quaintncs^ of 
our \illages while at the same time 
providing for travellers those facil- 
ities and comforts which thevjre- 
quire. ' 

Through co-operation and en- 
tiiusiasm we can accomplish most 
oi these things and by gaining the 
realization that we must con^der 
the whole territory as our particu- 
lar field we can accomplish much 
more than we have in the past 
when local interests were consid- 
ered first. 

The Pilgrim land belongs to the' 

nation. The fact that we hapf.en 

%o live here does not imply that 

jve exclusively own it. It does, 

" owever, give us the opportunity 

.'hlch we seek to capitaVze the 

leneflts of such national owner- 

;hip. 



tCHE NE W YORK TIMES. 

In Washinsfton 



Rep 



). O'Connor of New York 
Gives Lesson to the Senate. 

! ' By ARTHUR KROCK. 

WASHINGTON. March 27.— The 
"greatest deliberative body on earth" 
.■speeded up its deliberations on the 
woik-relief resolution the other day, 
swallowing destructive and non-germane 
amendments in order to pass the meas- j 
ure before Senator Long could get, back i 
from his empire in the hayous. Victim ■ 
of its own rules, the Senate made a pub- j 
He confession of the impotence of its | 
majority against a determined and re- ( 
sourceful privateer. 

So u.sed has the country grown to ^ 
this situation in the Senate that the ; 
hasty surrender on the Thomas silver 
amendment, and the unconcealed rea- 
son why, did not bring the caatigations 
the Senate richly merited. But when 
the resolution, as amended, came before 
the House, Representative O'Connor of 
New York, chairman of the Committee 
on Rules, took occasion to instill in the 
House a sense of pride in its own or- 
derly procedure as a contra.st to the 
Senate's handling of the 'appropriation 
for 5 billions. 

Mr. O'Connor's tactics were skiUtul in 
several respects, and successful in their 
main objective. Because the Thomas 
amendment is inflationary, and the in- 
flationists knew it would probably be 
knocked out by the conferees, they had 
organized a movement to protect it. 
While the success of their effort was 
improbable, it is always wisest to keep 
House inflation in its groove and pre- 
vent it from climbing on to the backs 
of unrelated measures. The best way to 
do thi.s was to produce a rule sending 
the work-relief resolution to conference 
with full authority for the conferees to 
disagree to any of the Senate amend- 
ments. 

Appeals to House Pride. 

The rule wa,<) introduced and carried 
overwhelmingly, leaving a House ma- 
jority wholly free to clean up Senate 
debris that had been piled on to the 
work-relief resolution in a series of 
horse-trades. But the rule might have 
been harder sledding if Mr. O'Connor 
had not pitched his speech on an appeal 
to House pride in its ability to legislate 
by majority will, and not by weak and 
vicious comproml.ses growing out of a 
process of attrition. 

In making bis argument the Rules 
ohnlrman was obliged defllv to sk(rt 
the Longwortfi ban against mentioning 
the Senate in a, derogatory way. If he 
had been more specific than to refer to 
It as "another body." he might have 
been called to order frequently and lost 
1>ace. Pace was important to the task 
in hand, and he was able so to maintain 
It that some members who had planned 
to oppose the special rule swung over 



with cheers."*TT!«! iiuuse is a sentimen- 
tal body, and the unexpected size of the 
majority for the rule demonstrated that 
anew. 

Representative Kish had talked some 
of the usual nonsense about a "vicious 
gag rule." Gag rule it was. said Mr. 
O'Connor frankly, but not an unusual 
rule nor one providing for unusual pro- 
cedure in the House. He pointed out 
that when the conferees submitted 
their report, "if a sufficient number of 
members here do not agree ■• • • the 
House can vote down the conference 
report and then vote on any I Senate] 
amendments to which our conferees 
agreed or disagreed." 

No Fear of Any One Man There. 

This took him into his theme of House 
pride, which he cunningly prefaced with 
the statement that "some of us have al- 
ways welcomed a chance to vote for 
the proper recognition of silver if that 
matter came up in an orderly way." But 
It had no place here. As for the dignity 
oi the House, which had been that day 
aspersed by opponents of the rule- 
Let me say after due deliberation 
that -he House of Representatives 
may well take pride in the fact that 
it can legislate orderly and expedi- 
tiously. * * * I for one do not intend 
to match demagogy against dema- 
gogy • • • This great House * * * 
can legislate • • • without the fear 
of -any one man, whether he came by 
railroad train or airplane. • * • We 
legislate in this House by a majority, 
and that majority can always ex- ; 
press the will of the House. 

I for one am willing to match the 
procedure of this body as against 
another body • * " We have been 
told here today that if we pass this 
rule there will be a filibuster in 
another body, which will occupy 
weeks. Why, there has been an un- 
warranted and disgraceful filibuster 
there already for nearly two months. 
* • * This rule is a test of main- 
taining our own dignity » • * and 
the right to conduct our parliamen- 
tary deliberations in an orderly, re- 
spectable and dignified manner. 
That broke the back of the resistance 
—a lesson in dignity from a Tammany 
Representative. It also enhanced Mr. 
O'Connor's stature as a leader. His 
hard-boiled manner has sometimes bred 
resentment and nullified the qualifica- 
tions tangibly expressed by his Kappa 
key, his A. B. from Brown and LL. D. 
from Harvard. This manner, often ac- 
companied by sounds resembling growls, 
has at times irritated his colleagues and 
newspaper men engaged in their legiti- 
mate calling. 

But the terms and tenor of his speech 
established Mr. O'Connor as champion 
of the spirit and traditions of the heav- 
ily agrarian House. In attaining that 
status he also did a good job for the 
Preaider»t. A nice day's work for a 
member of Tammany Hall. 




EVIDENCE DEALS 
WITH HIS ACTS 
M POLICE HEAD 



Sensational Disclosures May Supersede 
Charges Already Made Public and 
Scheduled for Hearing Wednesday— 

/ Feeney Confers with Governor 

Sensational charges against Chairman Hultman of the metro- 
tolitan district commission, dealing with the commissioner's activi- 
ies as head of the police department, will probably precede th« 
uster hearings which are scheduled for next Wednesday. In 
ompiling specifications which wjDre furnished Hultman, the Gov- 
l-nor wrote a saving clause, that \\e would offer evidence concern- 
. ing an jLOther maUer he deemed relevant. 



OFFICERS QIESTIONED 

John P. Pecney. the Govrinor's'sp*-' 

cial counsel, was at police headquarters 

for a considerable period today and 

I after questioning five superior officers 

j there hurried to the State House, where 

he went into conference with Goy. 

■ Curley. Neither would state the nature 
of the conference, but Feeney, when ' 
askec: if there were to be new spccifl- i 
cations, replied. "We'll giv- them some 
more if they want them." He said he 
wa.s at work on the evidence and that 
he had been discussing .some new de- 
vcl<ii)ments with the Governor. 

State House rumor was to the effect 
that the newly discovered evidence was 
of such a sensational nature that it 
would probably become the basis of the 
ixqucsted removal of the commissioner. 
ULstcad of the charges already made 
known to Hultman and his counsel. 

It was staged that the Governor does 

lint intend to supply either Huliman o.r 

his counsel, Clarence A. Barnes, with 

the ne.w development, and will introduce 

I it at the hearing it the council indicates 

! It de.sires additional facts. The Oo"- 

■ «'■!"■"■ ^yill presen't the new oh.Tr'es 
under the reserve clause oi the .■specifi- 
cations giv?n to Barnes on his demand 
for advance information which wpuld 

! enable nim properly to prepare Htilt- 
man's rcspciue. 

Among other matters inquired into 
■-•y ^ Feeney was the request made bv 
Hmtman. in January, 1931, for a retire- 
ment from the Elevated, to the directors 
of which he had been a technical ad- 
|v-i.sor on enpineering subjects. He was 
it that lime police commissioner, but 
lad remained in the street railway ser- 
■:ce at a salary of $4000. He asked for 
, pension of $1300 and was refused. 
P.\TROI,.MAN QUESTIONED 
Later in the afternoon, Feeney, ac- 
onipanied by Mes.senger FYnnk Pe- 
opM of the Governor's ofTicc. called 
f.t police headquarters for the second 
lime today and questioned Pafrolnmn 
Francis Sullivan, who has charge of the 
III !icc photography.

Tax fJate— Boston Limit 
Set by Legislative Group 

The legislative committee on mu- 
nicipal finance hit Boston's tax rate 
today by recommending mainte- 
nance of last year's $37 figure. Their 
action left Mayor Mansfield with 
nothing to hit but the ceiling, which i 
[he promptly did. I 

I "Arbitrary, unprecedented and \ 
r highly dangerous," he characterized : 
I'the committee's rate limit at $27.13 i

This means, the committee admitted i 
borrowing $9,000,000 to keep the tax ! 
rate down 

It al.so means, Mayor Man.sfield 
asserted, probable discharge of many 
city employees, depending upon what 
eventuates in the way of tunnel and 
elevated deficits, and county and 
police expenses — over which, he 
pointed out, the Mayor has no con- 
trol. 

Lottery Issiie~h Bobs Up 

With Age Pensions 

Proposals for a state lottery 
bobbed up in legislative circles today 
and stole the show from a discus- 
sion on added old-age assistance. 
When the legislative Committee on 
Pensions met, Senator Francis M. 
McKeown, chairman, advanced lot- 
teries as the logical way to raise 
revenues needed to place the assist- 
ance age limit at 65 years instead of 
the present 70. Gambling would be 
curbed, according to his plan, by 
limiting wagers to 25 cents a week 
for each person. 

Observers tried to connect x^p y- 
ernor^Curley with the proposal by' 
recallmg^iny recent remark that a 
lottery might be a good thing for 
revenue.

neatly pigeon-holed by Repre.senta- 
tive Thomas E. Berry of Boston. 
"They favor beano games," he said, 
"why not lotteries?" 

But the idea will have to pass 
the House and Senate three times 
and win the Governor's signature. 
So today was still a long ways from 
legal lotteries. 



Crime — Dr. Glueck Puts 
Blame on Many Parents 

Half-lifted curtains on the causes 
of crime in the United States were 
snapped wide open last night by Dr. 
Sheldon Glueck. In another of his 
rapid-fire, one-hour lectures beforo 
the Lowell Institute, the Harvard 
professor on criminal law re- 
vealed the results of soundings 
taken in the careens of more than 
1500 juvenile and young men de- 
linquents — focused the blame on 
irrespon.sible parents, 

"Superficial," he called the treat- 
ment of these delinquents as simple 
mechanisms. 

"Overemphasis," he branded ef- 
forts to appeal to criminals through 
the fear of punishment. | 

"Excellent," he responded to the ' 
more realistic approaches of modern 
crime-prevention machinery, func- I 
tioning to counteract complex pres- i 
sures and pulls that condition anti- j 
social behavior. j 

Theprofessors' soundings revealed: ' 

1. Families In 76 per cent of delin- I 
quent cases either dependent or ap- | 
proaching dependence upon charity. 

2. Parents of 85 per cent of adult

of prominent Massachusets people to 
work towards helping those le.ss 
well-to-do consumers who buy auto- 
mobiles and many other things on 
the Installment plan, and pay far 
too high interest on them. Legisla-

Cotton r«.r— Proposed 
Rise Stirs Controversy Anew 

Buckets of cold water were thrown 
on New England's textile panic over 
the prospective cotton processing tax 
increa.se, by both government and 
labor groups today. 

Said Secretary of Agriculture Wal- 
lace, "The price of cotton warrants 
an increase more than a reduction 
at this time. The outcry of manufac- 
turers against the tax is mcVely an 
effort to trade on popular niiscon- 
crntions regarding the cotton pro- 
gram." 

Said William E. G. Batty, New 
Bedford textile labor leader: "Ths 
hue and cry over the processing tax 
merely evades a more important is- 
sue. The root trouble Is the wide dis- 
parity of wages betweeHj^orth and 
South. Manufacturers divert atten- 
tion from this, by agitating against 
the tax. 

"It is folly to center attention on , 
the tax—which affects South and 
North alike— rather than on the 
chief and basic wage problem." 

Thus was the issue joined, after 
the first flurry of excitement from 

"manufacturc'-s over the progoslu 
tax increa.se, Labor and the Gov 
ernment wa;at the wage different-., 
tlals evened out. Manufacturers,! 
many of whom have mlll.s in both 
North and South, want the tax ellm- 
, inated. 

Whichever side was the more 
i .sound, the fact remained that New 
I England textile mills were in a criti- 
cal condition. Governor Curley noted 
I that 20 years ago Ma.s.sachusc'tt.s had 
I 37.000,000 spindles. Today, it has 6,- 
1300,000, of which 4,000,000 arc 'now

Says Plan May Demand Ii 

If X equals millions of Huey 
Long's followers, Y millions of the 
"Radio Priesc's" partisans, and Z a 
! goodly number of Townsend plan 
advocates what does X plus Y plus Z 
equal? 

Capt. Charles M. Hawks, national 
Townsend plan organizer, hopes the 
equation adds up to "Townsend for 
President in 1937." 

He was rolling the intriguing 
prospects around in his mind today. 
The Monitor reporter caught him 
at it. 

"Yes, I think we can elect Mr. 
Townsend President," he admitted 
with his broad California smile. I 
"But I want to make it plain," he I 
quickly added, "that we don't coii- 
template, that we won't countenance, 
making concesions to other political 
groups in order to gain voles. 

"■We have only one plan and it is 
firmly established. We won't change 
it. If followers of other proposals 
want to join us, we will welcome 
them, but we cannot incorporate 
their ideas into any modification of 
;the Townsend plan." 
I Informed that Mr. Townsend in 
'Washington denied any intention to 
run for President, Captain Hawks 
said, "Of course not. Dr. Townsend 
is a retiring gentleman whose sole 
ambitions concern his plan. He has 
no desire for personal glory, but it 
may become necessary for us to draft 
him for President in order to estab- 
lish our plan." j 



Hair Cut Prize—Fine 

Until NRA Stepped In 

Ice cream cones — FREE. The 
tarned-up noses of Waltham young- 
sters pressed flat against a barber- 
shop window pane. They could al- 
ready taste the coolness thereof, in 
imagination. 

The only hitch was that they had 
to have a haircut. But that was easy. 
Waltham parents would rush for the 
pocketbook, if so untoward a thing 
should happen as a child actually 
demanding a haircut. 

They did just that, and certain 
barber,s did a land-office bvisiness. 
But this was only one side of the 
story. Across the street, barbers who 
knew the disastrous effects of cut 
prices and premiums, glowered. If 
everyone did the same, thcv knew, ; 
barberdom would be completely de- | 
moralized. 

Moreover, this was a form of price | 
cutting— with which they had titlted { 
iln vain during past weeks. The NRA i 
had set a fixed price, and ice-cream i 
tactics were a distinct violation. An 
appeal was planned. 

So it was a case of— "Children 
enjoy while you may for tomorrow 
comes the NRA."

Curley Digs Up 
"Pension" Issue 
' to Hit Hiiltman 



Alleged Improper Application 

to "El" in 1931 Added to 

Ouster Charges 



Continuing his campaign to remove 
Eugeno C. Hultman, former Boston 
police commissioner from the chairman- 
ship of the Metropolitan District Commis- 
sion, Governor Curley today conferred 
W'ith his special counsel, John P. Feenev, 
who will present the case against Hult- 
man at the meeting of the executive coun- 
cil next Wednesda.v. 

Tlie conference dealt with a report that 
Hultman %vhil6 police commissioner 
applied for a pension of $1300 from the 
Boston Elpvatea RailWMy Compan.v In 
1931, and that, it was voted to him. After ' 
the pension had- heon voted, it. w,ih re- ' 
ported, objection was raised on the ground 
that ]Iultman was not entitled to it be- 
cause he was a paid employee of the city. 
Hultman did not receive the pension. 

Governor Curley will contend that 
Hultman was not eligible to receive the 
pension and that bv applying for U, as | 
Indicated, he committed an act anpport- ' 
inK the general charge that he is unquali- 
fied to hold State office This charge, 
the governor indicated, would be added 
to the twenty specifications which were 
furnished to Hultman and hl» counsel 
two clays ago. 

The governor : aid that he had been In- 
formed that Hultman's application for 
the pension was based on his previous 
employment in the engineering depart- 
ment of the Elevated at a salary of 
$4000 a year.

t Unnecessary Delay 

The reputable citizens who stand readj 
to sponsor horse racing In Massachusetts 
have every reason to be disgusted by the 
dilatory tactics of the State Racing Com- 
mission. Here it is the end of March 
and apparently we are no nearer a deci- 
sion than we were in January as to the 
final location of a track, The latest 
word is to the effect that there will be 
a hearing next Wednesday and that a 
choice of SHes will be made soon there- 
after. Meanwhile, the various groups 
which have a right to know where they 
stand must hold all their plans In abey- 
ance. At the same time, there is post- 
poned a large piece of construction work 
that would afford employment to many 
citizens. 

Considering the fact that there have ! 
been at the most only five possible loca- j 
tions for a track in the vicinity of ' 
Boston, it does not appear that the com- 
mission ha.s been faced with a really ; 
difficult problem. All it had to do was ■ 
to study the character and financial re- 
Eponsibility of the applicants for licenses, 
weigh the proposals to see which is the 
m.ost advantageous to the State and con- 
sider such minor matters as traffic con- 
ditions in and around the proposed sites. 
With a business-like approach to the 
duty at hand, a decision could have been 
readied in a fortnight at the most. And 
yet for one reason or another the whole 
matter has been permitted to drag its 
weary length along for nearly four 
months. 

The governor must share some of the 
blame for "EITFaelay. In the first place, 
he insisted on a commission that would 
see eye to eye with him on all major 
issues. He won his point, Just as he has 
v,'on his point in other State depart- 
ments. Having achievad this success he 
ought to have seen to It that his hand- 
picked board produced early results. A 
word from him would have resulted In 
almost immediate action. More signifi- 
cant questions than this have often been 
settled in much less time, especially when 
political considerations are kept out of 
the picture.

During the afternoon business hcuirs 
at the Baclng Commission yesterday this 
group of promoters llled with the Eonl

ance denoting they have JaOO.OOO ready

It was thought for a time yesterday

might issue a horse track license hcfor,: 
the end of tlie week. Keyerish activity r 
(he Ford Building offices, topped off with 
a I'onleience with the governor, was tiie 
basis for this rumor, 

Tho visit of the East Boston group 
filing their certificate of bank haluncc, 
was another item toward the building of 
this report. But at the end of the dav 
the commission announced merely that 
pui)lic hearings for would-be horse trai'k 
builders will start at the .State House 
Wednesday. (Jovernor Curley and his

Mansfield, during the protest against dog 
racing here, that the 1856 law is still 
active. 

The city of Cambridge in its fight to 
bar a dog tra-ck in that community re- 
cently filed a bill in equity to restrain 
the dog track. This bill would force a 
riling by the Supreme Court upon the 
validity of the Ifi.'di law. But since the 
witlidrawal of the Cambridge dog license 
it is not expected the city of Cambridge 
will proceed with the expense of these 
legal proceedings, leaving the matter 
slii; high in the air and still a threat 
over the heads of the would-be race 
track jiromoters in Boston. 

Meanwhile, despite that Walter 
O'Hara, the Rhode Island racing mag-

At a late hour today nothing new had 
developed In the dog racing situation, 
raunton and West Springfield promoters 
retain their licenses. The Metbuen li- 
cense has been withdrawn. The Cam-

now planning to combine in a long pro-

SO. HADLEYMAN 
I APP OINTED JUDGE 

James R. Nolen Nominated 
For Ware Post 

Gov. Curley yesterday nominaled 
James R. Nolan of South Hadley to be 
Justice of the eastei-n Hampshire dis- 
trict court at Ware, tn succeed Justice 
Henry C.Davis, 92-jear-old judge who 
is retiring after 33 years of service on 
the bench. 

In Judge Davis's retirement, the 
bench lost one of its most picturesque 
members. Since the Ware court was 
established, Judge Davis had presided. 
His decisions, tempered bv mercy, fre- 
quently were relieved by wit, humor 
and a homely wisdom, that endeared 
him to the district. 

From the day he took office, Judge 
Davis was never seen on the street ex- 
cept clad In a silk hat and frock coat, 
and with a cigar between his teeth. An 
ardent sportsman, he frequently could 
not spare time to return home and 
change hLs garb, and with rod or gun 
sought woods or stream clad as he left 
the courthouse. 

Nolcn was appointed la spite of his 
residence in the neighboring Hampshire 
district. His nomination will be con- 
sidered by the executive council at its 
regular weekly meeting next Wednes- 
day. 

Under a suspension of rules the coun- 
cil confirmed the Governor's nomina- 
tion of Edward P. Loughlln of Concord 
to the clerkship of the central Middle- 
sex district court. This was a reappoint- 
ment. Loughlin's previous reappoint- 
ment was by former Gov. Allen in 1930 
, Other nominations submitted by the 
I Governor to the council follow: 

John R. McCoole of Boston, reap- 
, pointed trustee of the metropolitan state 
hospital. 

Mary E. McNuIty, appointed trustee 
of the Bo.ston P.\vchopathlc Hospital to 
succeed Joseph C. Aub of Belmont 
' John L. Blanchl of Worcester, ap- 
pointed trustee of the Worcester State 
Hospital, to .succeed Edward P, Fletcher 
of Worcester. 

Howard J. Bushway of Newton, ap- 
pointed trustee of the Massachusette 
General Hospital. 

The Rev, George P. O'Connor of Ded- 
ham and Henry H. Faxon of Brookllne 
reappointed trustees of the Perkins In- 
ititutlorj and Massachusetts School for 
;he Blind. 

Dr. Cornelius J. Klley of Peabody »p- 
winteti as.sociate medical examiner of 
aie 8th Essex district to succeed Dr. 
lalph E. Poss of Peabody.

Shanklln of 388 Main street, former

A saving to the state of more than

sentatives of the flsiilng Industry and 
state ofRcials. 

The program suggested at the con- 
ference calls for a ont-thlrd additional 
con-sumption of fish in state institutions, 
an intensive program of education and 
advertising in behalf of the fl.sh in- 
dustry, the employment of several 
hundred ERA workers for house-to- 
house canvassing in behalf of the in- 
dustry, the use of skilled ERA workers 
to instruct stewards in state institu- 
tions in ways of preparing fish and 
the suggested increa.se of the use of fish 
in city and town in.stilutions 

Edward H. Coolcy, president of tne

BRENNAN POSSIBLE 
GOMPR W CHOICE 

U. S. Inspectors Interview 
Postmaster Aspirant 



James H. Brennan of Charlestown, 
ex-Governor's Councilor and ex-State 
Senator, was viewed by political ob- 
servers yesterday as a possible com- 
promise choice for Postmaster of 

Boston. . , 

Mr Brennan was Interviewed yes- 
terday by two inspectors sent here 
Ifrom Washington to look over the 
various candidates for the job. 

It was reported that Mr Brennan 
had the backing of James Roosevelt, 
eldest son of the President, but Bren- 
nan was quick to deny that young 
Roosevelt had anything to do with 
his candidacy. 

"All I care to say about the yarn 

is that I entered the list of candidates 

' for Postmaster of my own accord 

j and not on the invitation of James 

1 Roosevelt or anybody else," Brennan 

said. "Mr Roosevelt is my friend 

and we will be friends after this 

postmaster contest is over." 

Pohticians see in Brennan a pos- 
sible solution of a ticklish situation 
for President Roosevelt. The leadini! 
candidates for the office, Ex-Con- 
gressman Peter F. Tague and Gen | 
Charles H. Cole represent opposition i 
factions of the Democratic party. 
Tague is strongly backed by Gov 
Curley while Gen Cole is said to have 
■fKg"?Tjpport of United States Senators 
David I. Walsh and Marcus A. Cool- 
idge. A choice of either is certain 
to offend the other faction. 

Mr Brennan has already received 
favors at the hands of the Federal 
Administration, being named receiver 
for two national banks. He resigned 
these jobs when he become a candi- 
date for Congress in the last election. I 
The Postofflce inspectors will con- ] 
tinue to examine candidates and will 
check information received before 
reporting their findings to Washing- 
ton. The first three will be certified 
for the position and anyone can be 
picked or the entire list ignored and 
another appointed. 



AdTlsed to Return 

He was finally advised, he states, 
to return April 17 with Mrs Aber- 
crombie and a physician, as he would 
have to show that Mrs Abercromb.e 
1 was left destitute and that her mcn- 
Ital and physical health was affected 
before Abcrcrombic l^U 'len 

Mr Bushell is """^'^ *° l'"^'cal

' Sh of Mrs Abercrombie befoie 

she was allegedly deserted has any

SENATE KILLS 
5i PERCENT BILL 

Would Have Fixed Limit 
on Realty Loans 



Move Will Be Made to Pass 
a Similar Measure 



The Massachusetts Senate voted, 17 
to 14, yesterday not to substitute for 
an adverse committee report a bill 
which would make it unlawful for 
any Massachusetts bank to charge 
more than 5\i percent interest on 
real estate loans. Six Senators were 
paired on the vote, and Senator Mc- 
Aree of Haverhill was recorded as 
"present" 

The bill which the Senate rejected 
and about 25 similar ones have been 
reported unfavorably by the Com- . 
mittec on Banks and Banking, with '. 
several dissenters. Senator Cavanafib 1 
of Cambridge gave notice that at ttic ' 
next session he would move to re- ' 
consider yesterday's vote, and it is ■ 
clear thai, in spite of the action taken 
yesterday, efforts will be mads to 
pass one of the many bills now in the | 
senate calendar. ; 

Senator Cavanagh made the motion ^ 
to substi't'^e tii« bill Iqv the com- 
mittee report, lie was supported by ; 
Senators Burke. Carrol!, Langone and ; 
Madden of Boston, and Conro.y of | 
Fall River. They argued that the bill 
was designed to help the owners of 
small homes, that the banks were 
willing to accept the rate of HVi per- 
} cent, as they had agreed with Gov , 
Curley to mark their charges down , 
to that figure, that the propo.sed act 
merely put into law what the bank- 
ers had consented to, and that the 
banks had such a large spread be- 
tween what they paid in interest on 
deposits and what they charged for 
loans that the institutions could well 
afford to fix the interest on mort- 
gages at 5\z percent. 

Senators Cotton of Lexington, 
Nicholson of Wareham and Hollis of 
Newton spnke against the bill. They 
said it probably was unconstitution- 
al, that it might seriously injure the 
banks, particularly the cooperative 
banks, which have large sums tied up 
in mortgages,, that the advantage to 
the borrowers would be outweighed f 
by the disadvantages to the deposi- 
tors who far outnumber the borrow- 
ers, and that the bill applied not only 
to the owners of small estates but 
also to the large holders and did not 
affect national banks or trustees who 
had loans on real estate. 

After the bill had been rejected 
Senator Sullivan of Worcester moved 
to substitute his bill which, as 



amended, would tix the mteresi rate 
et 5'k percent on mortgages hereafter 
made on houses containing not more 
than four families, occupied in part 
by the owner, and having an a.sscssed 
valuation of not more than $20,000. 
These provisions would meet some of 
the objections raised against the 
earlier bill. The Senate was debating 
Senator Sullivan's bill, when it was 
voted to adjourn. 

Gov Curie y's veto of the bill to In- 
creflfi? the 'rViembcrship of the Revere 
Board of Health was read in the Sen- 
ale and placed in the orders of the 
day for the next session. 

The Senate ordered to a third 
reading the biJl placing under the 
Civil Service the chief deputy and 
district chiefs of the Worcester Firo 
Department. 

The Committee on Civil Service re- 
ported reference to the "next annual 
session on the bill providing that 
members of the State police patrol bo 
placed under Civil Service. Senator

tatives Smith of Palmer, Brady of 
Somerville and Landry of WfltertownJ.

"L" STRUCTURE 

Gov Curley Will Ask U.S. 
for $40,000,000 



Proposes Extension of the 
Wasliington-St Tunnel 



A Federal grant of $40,000,000 for 
removal of the Boston Elevated struc- 
ture between Forest Hills and SuUi- 
1 Van sq will be requested by Gov 
I Curley when he goes to Washington, 
I probably next week. The proposition 
will be put up to Secretary of the In- 
terior Ickes as an addition to the 
Governor's already large program of 
public works to be undertaken with 
funds from Washington. 

Extension of ■ the Washington-st 
tunnel to take the place of the ele- 
vated structure is part of the plan the 
Governor has in mind. Removal of 
the Elevated structure has been 
agitated for years. 

The Governor said yesterday he 
has felt for some time that the over- 
head tracks , of the road should be 
taken down and the line run entirely i 
underground between Forest Hills 
and Sullivan sq. > 

He is convinced the undertaking 
■would be too expensive to be paid 
for by the city of Boston, especially 
under the present conditions. 
• RemovaJ-qf the Elevated structure 
■ would do much to restore property 
values along its route. Gov Curley

SENATE KILLS 
5i PERCENT BILL 

Would Have Fixed Limit 
on Realty Loans 



Move Will Be Made to Pass 
a Similar Measure 



The Massachusetts Senate voted. 17 
to 14, yesterday not to substitute for 
an adverse cpmmitteo report a bill 
which would make it unlawful for 
any Massachusetts bank to charge 
more than 5% percent interest on 
real estate loans. Six Senators were 
paired on the vote, and Senator Mc- 
Aree of Haverhill was recorded as 
"present" 

The bill which the Senate rejected 
and about 25 similar ones have been 
reported unfavorably by the Com- 
mittee on Banks and Banking, with 
several dissenters. Senator Cavanagh 
of Cambridge gave notice that at tiie 
next session he would move to re- 
consider yestcrday'.s vote, and it is 
clear that, in spite of the action taken 
yesterday, efforts will be made to 
pass one of the many bills now in the 
SSnate calendar. 

Senator Cavanagh made the mcotion 
to Rubst'*"'''^ til" t*'" -fsf 'he com- 
) mittee report. Ho was .<;upportcd by 
Senators Burke. CnrroU, Langone and 
Madden of Boston, and Convoy of 
Fall River. They argued that the bill 
was designed to help the owners of 
small homes, that the banks were 
willing to accept the rate of ,514 per- 
cent, as they had agreed with Gov 
Curley to mark their charges down 
to that figure, that the proposed act 
merely put into law what the bank- 
ers had consented to, and that the 
banks had such a large spread be- 
tween what they paid in interest on 
deposits and what they charged for 
loans that the institutions could well 
afford to fix the interest on mort- 
gages at 5% percent. 

Senators Cotton of Lexington, 
Nicholson of Warcham and Hollis of 
Newton spoke against the bill. They 
said it probably wa.s unconstitution- 
al, that it might scrio\isly injure the 
banks, particularly the cooperative 
banks, which have large sums tied up 
in mortgages^ that the advantage to 
the borrowers would be outweighed 
by the disadvantages to the deposi- 
tors who far outnumber the borrow- 
ers, and that the bill applied not only 
to the owners of small estates but 
also to the large holders and did not 
affect national banks or trustees who 
had loans on real estate. 

After the bill had been rejected 
Senator SuDivan of Worcester moved 
to substitute his bill which, as 



amended, would lix the mteresl rate 
at 5'4 percent on mortgages hereafter 
made on houses containing not more 
than four families, occupied in part 
by the Oivner, and having an assessed 
valuation of not moi-e than $20,000. 
These provisions would meet some of 
the objections raised against the 
earlier bill. The Senate was debating 
Senator Sullivan's bill, when it was 
voted to adjourn. 

Gov Curle y's veto of the bill to in- 
crease ine hiembcrthip of the Revere 
Board of Health- was read in the Sen- 
ate and placed in the orders of the 
day for the next session. 

The Senate ordered to a third 
reading the bill placing under the 
Civil Service the chief deputy and 
district chiefs of the Worcester Firo 
Department. 

The Committee on Civil Service re- 
. ported reference to the'next annual 
session on the bill providing that 
members of the State police patrol be 
placed under Civil Service. Senator

tatives Smith of Palmer, Br,T-'y of {

WOULD RAZE 7 
"L" STRUCTURE 

Gov Curley Will Ask U. S. 
for $40,000,000 



Proposes Extension of the 
Wasliington-St Tunnel 



A Federal grant of $40,000,000 for 
removal of the Boston Elevated struc- 
tur:; between Forest Hills and Sulli- 
van sq will be requested by Gov 
Curley when he goes to Washington, 
probably next week. The proposition 
will be put up to Secretary of the In- 
terior Ickes as an addition to the 
Governor's already large program of 
public works to be undertaken with 
funds from Washington. 

Extension of the Washington-st 
tunnel to take the place of the ele- 
vated structure is part of the plan the 
Governor has in mind. Removal of 
the Elevated structure has been 
agitated for years. 

The Governor said yesterday he 
has felt for some time that the over- 
head tracks , of the road should be 
taken down and the line run entirely 
underground between Forest Hills 
and Sullivan sq. 

He is convinced the undertaking 
■would be too expensive to be paid 
for by the city of Boston, especially 
under the present conditions. 

Removal -of the Elevated structure 
would do mlich to restore property 
value? along its route, Gov Curley 
laid.

Expected Location Will Receive 
Permit From Racing Commission 
, at Hearing Next' Wednesday 



■R 1, Pollock, treasurer of the oor- 
inoralion which has been ifranted the 
UcpnU for DlKhton, .said that the people 
of the State knew for what they were 
votns when they approved the horee 
' and dog racing law at the election last 
Xovelber. He .said the D'=l>ton rack 
is located four miles from either a 
church or a school, and he presenled a 
peUtion siKned by residents of the town 

'"j'meT imbre,' member of tho execu- 
tive commUtee of the Bo^^ton Garden 
Corporation, opposed repeal of the rac- 
•Inc hw, and denied that any great 
■ nnancial drain on a community wouM , 
?ollow establishment of -"^ /f,^'"E "'^'^ 
in its vicinity. He estimated that $16.lw,- 
m of Massachu.setts money has gone, 
to Rockingham and -'<«"^8f"^,^" -^"f* 
horse racing has been legall-«d In -New- 
Hampshire and Rhode Island. 



A decision in favor of horse racing 
at Suffolk Downs in East Boston is 
expected from the State Racing Com- 
mission within the ne.xt 10 days. 

The members of the commissio!! 
conferred with Gov ernor C urlcy yes- 
terday, and at his VeqtieSt that set- 
tlement of the horse racing problem 
be expedited as much as possible, in- 
formed the Governor that they will 
hold a public hearing for the purpose 
of deciding on location of a horse 
track next Wednesday. 



NO SITE AGREED ON 

Notices for that hearinK will he 
sent out probably today, when the com- 
mission completes Its arransements for 
a hearing room in the .Slnto House. 
The commission made no statements as 
to what location may bo agreed iipon, 
but in view of the understandinK that 
Governor Curlcy favors the Kast Bos- 
ton site, it is tho general belief among 
racing promoter."! that that place will 
be decldfld 'upon after tho hearings 
next Wednesday. 
At the hearing, In addition to tho 
lEast Boston location, the commissfon 
'win consider the proposals tor horse 
tracks at Sharon, at Norwood, at Med- 
ford and at FraminKham. Objections 
that the locations In Norwood ana 
Sharon fall within the prohibited areas 
under the zoning laws were believed to 
be barriers that would result in with- 
drawal of these applications. Up to 
date, however, they are still pending 
before the State commission, and they 
will bo set down for hearing along with 
the other locations. 

Dog Race Hearings 

The State commission -will devot« 
Monday and Tuesday of next week to 
public hearings on the applications for 
dng racing tracks in Revere and else- 
where when residents of that city ar« 
expected to turn out In force to pro- 
test against location of tho track at 
old Wonderland Park. 

The Bay State Greyhound Associa- 
tion, Inc., which had a license for a 
dog track in Cambridge, and the Essex 
Greyhound Association, Inc., which 
planned to operate dog racing meetings 
in Methueii, yesterday formally pre- 
sented withdrawals of their applica- 
tions. Tlie withdrawals were filed by 
Representative Martin Hays of Brigh- 
ton, who Is counsel for these two 

ItCTOUDB. 



Ill accordance with the plans made on 
Tuesday, Representative Hays filed a 
new appiicition for dog racing in Fie- 
vere, and announced that the Old Har- 
bor Kennel Club would withdraw its 
applioation for a dog track In South 
Boston and make a new application 
for use of the track at Wonderland In 
Revere at a time when tho Bay State 
proup Is not operating there. 

Plan 55 Days at Revere 

The Bay State Greyhound Associa- 
tion originally was authorized to op- 
erate In Cambridge for a period of S9 
days, but according to Representative 
Hays Us new application will be for 
65 d.iys at the Revere track, beginning 
early In May. The Old Harbor Ken- 
nel Club's application, Representative 
Hays said, will be for M days at the 
Revere track, although It had asked for 
only 49 days at its original South Bos- 
ton location. 

Tho Old Harbor group had not filed 
their withdrawal of the South Boston 
license up to closing time at the offlces 
of the racing hoard last night, but 
Chairman Charles F. Connors of the 
board said he understood the with- 
drawal is on the way and that it will 
be received today, together with that 
organization's new application for 
Revere. 

Governor Curley expressed himself as 
pleased last night with the action of 
the rncing commission In straightening 
out the dog racing problem, declaring 
that the commission had done "a com- 
mendable job." 

Boston K. C. Withdraws 

The Boston Kennel Club, Inc., headed 
by Sheldon H. Fairbanks, witli the 
original intention of operating a dog 
track at Braves Field, later changing 
their proposed location to Boston Gar- 
den and still later to the town of South- 
wick, yesterday filed with the .Slate 
conimission a withdrawal of that ap- 
plication. 

Before the legislative committee on 
St;ite administration yesterday advo- 
c.nles of dog racing presented further 
opposition to the bills before that com- 
mittee which would repeal the whole 
I'nring law of lftn4. James .1. Kgan of 
IJoston, one of those interested in the 
license for dog racing In Dighton, read 
a number of letters from American IjS- 
ginn posts, from the Fraternal Order 
of Kagles, a lodge of Elks In Wheeling, 
\V. \';!,, ,ind othei's, expressing apprecia- 
tion of dog racing meetings which had 
been conducted to aid them In charity 
.■irfalrs. Ho also said that his organiza- 
tion is anxious to get started in the 
coiislriictlon of its track in Dighton, 
which lie said would furnish employ- 
ment to a consldcr.able number of Avork- 
•ra in that tectlon.

RADIO STATION STICKS ' 
TO BANNING OF GRANT 

BOSTON, March 27 (AP)— A 
spanking exchange of statements 
between Radio Station WBZ and 
Governor James ,..Jii,»JC»*»ley over 
the station's action in barring the 
governor's secretary, Richard D. 
Grant, from the further use of its 
facilities was brought to a cloee 
tonight. 

The station, as.'iailed by Governor 
Curley as having permitted the 
use of its time to persons making 
"unsupported allegations of a 
personal natuie reflecting on the 
chief executive" declined to reply 
but stuck by its declaration that 
Grant could no longer speak there. 

The governor earlier in the day, 
when apprised of WBZ's declara- 
tion on Grant, announced that 
henceforth he would use WNAC 
and affiliated stations, instead of 
WBZ, for his regular Thursday 
night broadcasts. The governor, 
the statement said, has never 
objected to a free discussion of 
state problems with a representa- 
tive opposition but does object to 
the character of opposition to 
which WBZ has given free broad- 
casting time during the pa.st eix 
weeks.

Ware Judge Retires at 92; 
I Noted for Yankee Justice 



WARE, March 28— Harry C. 
Davis, oldest judge on the Massa- 
chusetts bench, has retired, after 
presiding over the Eastern Hamp- 
shire District Court since it was 
established in 1903. 

No more will the spruce little 
figure of the 92-year-old jurist, 
frock-coated and wearing a shin- 



ing tall silk hat. enter the court 
to dispense justice. 

Governor Curley accepted .judge 
Davis' resignaffon and named At- 
torney James R. Nolen of this 
town to succeed him. 

The stories they tell about Judge 
Davis' Justice are part of the legal 
lore of this section of the State. 
His findings were as plain as his 
attire was immaculate. 

Not long ago .State police brought 



in a man charged with driving 
while drunk. Judge Davis found 
that the defendant worked nights 
and needed his machine to get to 
his place of employment. His ver- 
dict was: "You may drive to work 
after sunset, but must garage your 
car before sunrise, and not drive 
in the daytime for one year." 

No one could fool Judge Davis 
on the terraine of this section. A 
man was brought before him for 
driving while drunk. Evidence 
showed that he was arrested after 



I he reached home. Under question- 
ling Judge Davis brought out the 
I fact that the defendant was . re- 
turning from a fishing trip and 
told where he had been fishing. 

"I know that country," said the 
judge. "No drunken man could 
ever negotiate those difficult roads 
in an automobile. Discharged." 

Woe be unto the officer who 
tried to railroad a prisoner. A po- 
liceman charged a local resident 
with being a common drunk, and 
finished hia testimony by saying 



that he was "tired of arresting the 
defendant." 

"You don't look overworked to 
me, officer," snapped the judge, 
and dismissed the case. He then 
secured a job on a farm for the 
erstwhile defendant, and said that 
he had really sentenced him lo 
"useful work." 

Once State police arraigned a 
man before Judge Davis for tres- 
passing on deserted farms taken 
over by the State as part of the 
Swift River water project, and 
charged him with picking wild 



grapes there. The man readily 
pleaded guilty, but Judge Davis re- 
fused to accept his plea. "Why I 
picked grapes as a boy up there," 
he said, "and there was never a 
question of trespass. You cannot 
trespass on God's own hills." 

But there was no mercy shown 
to a non-sportsman accused of 
violating the game laws in Judge 
Davis' court. 'Warden Dennis Shea 
once arraigned a man for shooting 
a thrush. 

"Isn't that one of the little birds 
that sing so sweetly near my I 



home?" he asked Mr. Shea. He wa.i 
told that it was, and he gave the 
defendant the limit.

To block threatened Communist 
control of 1490 textile workers at 
East Douglas, Governor Curley 
and federal agents today moved to 
end the strike in five mille. 

Communist organizers were re- 
ported trying to capture control of 
the strike. 

The "reds" have little chance, 
according to union leaders, who 
warned the strikers against them. 
State police were held in readi- 
ness, however, in case of a "red" 
invasion of East Douglas, Frank- 
lin, Mlilhury and Manchaug. where 
the workers quit in five Hayward- 
Schuster woolen plants. 

Governor Curley interrupted the 
meeting with his "brain trust" at 
the Pf -ker House to urge that the 
special committee on the textile in- 
dustry confer with the employers 
and employes. • 

Appeal to th« Department '.it 
Labor to intervene was made by 
the owners, chiefly Winfield Schus- 
ter, member of the Governor's 
Council. 

Miss Anna Weinstock, former 
Boston garment worker, now an 
agent of the United States Depart- 
ment of Labor, was sent to East 
Douglas to affect a possible settle- 
ment of the strike with the work- 
ers. 

Schuster was called a "czar" by 
union chiefs, who accused him of 
refusing to parley with them. 

The union representatives have 
asked the trucking unions to assist 
them by refusing to move finished 
goods from the mills or to haul In 
raw materials. 

Customers of the five mills are 
said to be awaiting shipments. The 
truckmen will consider the proposi- 
tion this evening. 

Picketing was peaceful. The 
strikbrs went to the plants for their 
pay in large numbers without caus- 
ing trouble. For the present, at 
least, the company promised there 
would be no strike-breakers hired. 
Business men in the four com- 
munities fear "another South- 
bridge" case if the strike continues. 
Mill owners warned that perma- 
nent closing was conceivable, de- 
spite a profitable business.

paid high wages and given steady 
employment. 

"During six years of depres- 
sion our employes were given as 
steady work as the workers of 
any concern In the country and 
were paid appreciably more than

The Hurley boys, according- to 
those wise In the ways of politics, 
will swap orntorical punches for 
the governorship of Massachusetts. 
One of them is Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor Joseph L. Hurley of Fall j 
Hiver, who was hailed by Governor 
Curlcy as the next chief executive! 
of the Commonwealth at a banquet 
in Fall River a few nights ago. 

The other is State Treasurer 
Charles F, Hurley. 

Today it was intimated th-at Sen- 
ator Walsh and former Governor 
Ely would get behind the candi- 
dacy of State Treasurer Hurley to 
oppose the Lieutenant-Governor for 
his friendship with Curley. 

Governor_ilutfie.v's eulogy of the 
lieutenant-governor was inter- 
preted in political circles to mean 
that he would seek the Democrat- 
ic nomination ror -United States

Governor Curley indicated today

the matter of a $1300 pension voted 
Hultman by the Boston Elevated 
in 1931. 

Hultman never received the 
money, but the fact that it was 
voted may be incorporated in the 
case against the former police j 
commiasioner, whose removal from 
the metropolitan district commis- 
sion -will, be sought at a public 
hearing of the governor's council 
starting next Wednesday. 

The governor discussed the case

Frederic E. Dowlins: of AUstrrti, for-

appointed by Mayor Mansfield a mem- 
ber of tlie Boston election commission 
to succeed Maj. Charles T. Harding, 
whose term explre.5 Sunday. The ap- 
pointment i,"; for a four-year term and 
carries with it an annual salary of 
$6000. 



Dowling's selection for this choice 
posiilon caused considerable comment 
in political circles last night. During 
Mr. Mansfield'.? election campaign the 
new appointee actively supported a 
rival candidate for mayor, State Sena- 
tor Honry Parkman. Jr. 

The position was open only to a Re- ' 
publican, hut it is known that at least ■ 
four members of that party who sup- ) 
ported Mr, Miinsfield during the cam- 
paign were active candidates for the 
I3ost, Under the law, two of the four 
election commis-sioners must be Demo- 
crats and the two others Republicans. 
Dowling, as a Republican, succeeds to 
one of the posts held by members of 
that party. 

Dowling, who is 61, worked as a 
carpenter for several years after leav- 
iiig school, and subsequently entered 
r.twspaper wori as a reporter for the 
Eomerville Journal. Later he joined the 
reportorial staff of the old Boston Rec- 
ord, occupying that position for six 
years, and subsequently for nine years 
was City Hall reporter for the Boston 
Traveler. 

In 1916 he served in the House of 
Representatives, and from 1926 to 1929 
was a member of the city council. While 
in the council, he was generally recog- 
nized as one ol its most active mem- 
bers. At the same time he was a caustic, 
outspoken critic of the then mayor, 
Malcolm E. Nichols. 

When Go v. Cur ley succeeded Nichols

'Time Industry Ceased to

Pig-,' Says Baylies 

DISASTER IN SIGHT, 

govjl;^ley warns 

Congressmen Urged to Act 

To Halt Closing of New 

England Mills 

The New England textile Industry, al- 
ready harassed and depleted by labor 
troubles, competition and difficult code 
rulings, was faced with a possible death 
blow last night with the announcement 
from Washington that It is probable 
the objectionable processinf? tax will bn 
Increased, rather than decreased, a» 
demanded by textile communities. 

Just before the announcement from 
Washington came word from New Bed- 
ford that Japanese com()etition. under- 
selling American goods by 20 per cent., 
had resulted in an order for suspension 
of operations at the Butler mills when 
orders ru» out In two wcelcs. The mills 
employ 850 worlters and are control'ed 
bv former Senator William M. Butler 
and his son, Morgan Butler. Curtail- 
ment of production also was riven rs 
a reason for suspension. 

Anticipating the wholesale closing of 
cotton textile mills, the NRA on Mon- 
day Lssucd an order providing for the 
curtailment of production over a 12 
we '-.s period. 

New England's rcpresen^tives in 
Washington weis highly alarmed and 
indignant when they received informa- 
tion that Secretary Henry W. Wallacs 
had announced at a press conferenco 
the probability that the processing tax 
will be ingreased. , ..^^ 




BAVLIES ALARMhO 

Lincoln Baylies, chairman of the pub- 
licity section of the policy committee 
of the northern cotton miUs, declared 
that Wallace's stat«mei.t was "mcst cer- 
tainly alarming." 

"It is about time that the textil* 
industry ccsr^etS to be the No. 1 grulnea 
pig for the New Deal laboratory," he 
said. 

Ernest N. Hood, president of the Na- 
tional Ar!Sociatlon of Cotton Manufac- 
turers, declared "this announcement is 
a serious blow which comes at a lime 
when the New England cotton textile 
Industry had hoped the administration 
was l)eginning to realir.e what a terrifio. 
burden the cotton processing tax I'as 
laid on cotton manufacturers." Bay- 
lies said: 

"News of Secretary Wallace's threat 
to increase cotton processing taxes is 
most certainly alarming to northera 
cotton manufacturers. It seemed to us 
that he had made it pretty plain that; 
the high prices caused by the present 
tax had slowed down the market by 
liuilding up consumer resistance. 'What, 
we ask. wtll be the result of a further 
increase? 

"Northern cotton mills have closed 
in increasing numbers in the last few 
months and in every case the process- 
ing tax was a strong contributing fac- 
tor. Mills closed mean that employes 
are permanently unemployed and the. 
strain on welfare rolls in each textile 
community is directiy incre.i.sed and in- 
tensified. 

"So menacing to the stabilitv and 
prosperity of the cotton textile indus- 

^IZJltl ""^ '-ot. become that the man- 
ufacurer.s were forcxl to aslt a 25 per 
cent curtailment of production to even

CURLEY SKE.S DANGER 
Gov. Ciirley characterized the situa- ' 
"on ax "dangerous" and said he will 
ask that New England oongre.ssmen 
unite In placing before Secretary Wal- 
lace tlie facts concerning the ' cotton 
Industry in New England in an eflTort to 
forestall the predicted increase. 



In Washington a move was lanticnefl 
for a conference of the New England 
delegation in Congress to prepare a 
censuring resolution to be sent to Sec- 
retary Wallace and to both houses of 
Congress. 

"It is difficult to believe that so pre- 
posterous a statement could have been 
made after the representations which 
have been made regarding damages al- 
ready done to the textile industry," said 
Representative GifTord from the textile 
city of New Bedford, where the weak- 
ening of the industry is keenly felt, 

"Any increa.se in the cotton proce-w- 
ing tax will mean a death blow to New 
England cotton milk.' declared Rep- 
rfsentative Rogers of Lowell. 

Thotisands of men and women will be 

thrown out of employment if the 

processing tax is increased, said Russell 

T. Fisher of Quincy, secretary of the 

National Association of Cotton Manu- 

i facturers. He said: 

[ "Any increase in the processing tax 

1 will mean more people on the welfare 

rolls. The processing tax is nothing 

but a sales tax on necessities which 

bears heaviest on the people with the 

least purchasing power. Any further 

increase means a further decrease in 

the consumption of cotton, and in the 

production of cotton by the farmers. 

"Already we have lost many of our 
markets by the substitution of paper 
bags and jute bags for cotton bags. 

"When the processing tax was pro- 
posed we were a-ssured that a compen- 
sating tax would be impo.sed on com- 
peting textiles. We have asked repeat- 
edly that a compensating tax be impascd 
on the rayon industry, and repeatedly 
the AAA has refused to act on our re- 
quest. 

"The cotton textile industry Is in the 
mast serious condition it has ever faced, 
and now another blow Is aimed at the 
industry." 

CURI-EY STATEMENT 
Gov. Curley's statement was as fol- 
low.': 

It seems to me the ca.se calls for the 
presentations of all the facts by a 
united New England delegation. 
Frankly, it is becoming dangerous. 
I shall wire Senator Walsh at once 
and ask him to have a representative 
committee of New Englanders go to 
Secretary Wallace and place before 
him the facts we a.ssembled on the 
textile industry about four weeks ago 
at a gathering rf the New England 
congressional delegation in 'Wash- 
ington. 

Unless relief is forthcoming at 
once dlsastor will catch up with sev- 
eral New England communities. The 
Amoskeag mills at Manchester is on 
he verge of closing and tiiat would 
throw 11,000 out of employment. 
Secretary Wallace's proposal means 
the destruction of the industry in 
New England. 

Scarcely 20 years ago there were 
37,000,000 ."pindles operating in 
Ma.-tsachusettA and yet on March 1 
of this year there were onlv 6,300,000 
spindles here and 4,000,000 of them 
are idle. They don't seem to realize 
W'hat they are doing. 

This industry needs protection 
from the influx of textiles produced 
by criminal and child labor abroad 
and at starvation wages. The indus-

Moore Opposes Bill for 
I Marking Imitation Leather 

Brockton Shoe Manufacturers' Association 
President Says Measure Would Jump Cost 
of Some Shoes 60 Per Cent. 



BOSTON, M.arch 28.— (UP) — 
Waving- a woman's shoe in which 
he said tlieie "wasn't a slued of 
leather," Timothy Dorgan, presi- 
dent of the Peabody city council, 
Wednesday urged the legislative 
committee on constitutional law to 
report favorably a resolution me- 
morializing Congress for federal 
legislation which would require 
marking of articles made of imita- 
tion leather. 



'This slioe," Dorgan said, "in made 
entirely of paper. , . wlicn a woman 
buys it, she is being deceived. She 
doesn't, know what she has purchased 
unti.i a rain storm comes along," 
Dorgiin was one of a group 
representing Salem, Peabody and 
Haverhill, which held that sale of 
Imitation leather shoes Is detri- 
Inasmucti as New England Tele- 1 
phone earned Its $6 dividend last 
year by the halr-Une margin of 
one cent a share. It Is obvious that |. 
any rate cut of consequence will 
reduce earnings to a level well be- 
low the dividend requirement. Un- 
like the parent company, AfiTerican 
Telephone with Itb large surplus 
and abundant cash resources New 
England Telephone Is not In posi- 
tion to pay dividends at a rate 
substantially In excess of available 
earnings. , 

The whole question of telephone 
rates in Massachusetts was thor- 
oughly threshed out by the De- 
partment of Public Utilities In a 
?^^^'"^ lasting from Oct. 15, 
1930 to July 31, 1934, or nearly four 
years, as a result of which investi- 
gation the Department declared 
that it was not "warranted in or- 
dering any general reductions in 
rates at this time" (July 31, 1034). 
Certainly the company is in no 
better condition to stand a rate 
cut now than last summer; never- 



mental to the business of their 
community. 

The trend toward non-leather ma- 
terial in shoes, pocketbooks and 
other articles with the same sup- 
ported base is seriously hurting the 
business of two leather concerns in 
then- city, Sen. McAree, democrat, 
and Rep. Morrill, democrat, both of 
HaveiluU, told the committee. 

Demand for the artificial product 
IS growing, they .said, and the demand 
not only affects the retail purchaser, 
but the tanner and manufacturer as 
well, 

^legislation not only is unneces- 
sary but, in effect, unworkable, 
opponents maintained. Charles E. 
Moore of Brockton, member of 
Gov - Curley 's shoe committee, 
ht'ia "[|ia()"*fie quality of a shoe is 
to be judged by the price paid, 
saying that, if this legislation 
were =nacted, it would increase 
the costs of some shoes 60 per 
cent, 

Mr. Moore said scarcely a shoe is 
made which does not contain ma- 
terials not leather. He pointed out 
that not only is the lining made of 
linen— superior, he said, to leather- 
but that other parts are made of sub- 
stitutes which in many instances are 
superior to leather. Few shoes are 
put on the market in which there is 
not .some paper, Mr. Moore told the 
committee, adding that the change is 
a development in the art of shoe- 
making. 

For thi reason, he said, it would be 
an Injustice to manufacturers to re- 
quire placing of labels. 

Another opponent, Alexander Dilts 
of Belmont, charged the legislation 
was put In at the behest of the 
Leather Manufacturers' Council, 
which, he claimed, seeks to boost the 
sale of their product.

equal to 4.25% of the book cost of

PIPEDREAMS — A third na- 
i tional party, a coalition of adher- 
ents of Dr. P. E. Townsend, Rev. 
Pr. Coughlin and Huey Long, is 
being formed and will propose a 
Presidential candidate in 1936 
Captain Charles M. Hawks, na- 
tional Townsend plan organizer, 
declared In an interview Monday 
night. ^ . 

A complete platform, based on 
the $200 a month pension and a 
central banking system, Is at 
present locked in the vaults ol a 
Mid-Western bank and will be 
disclosed in the near future, the 
Townsend trouble shooter declared. 
Already the leaders of the third 
party have met and discussed their 
campaign issues, which they feel 
confgident will sweep their candi- 
date into the White House. Already 
thev have two men under consid- 
eration as their Presidential offer- 
ing. They are Dr. Francis E. 
Townsend himself or Senator Wil- 
liam E. Borah of Idaho. 

In conclusion Hawks listed the 
millions of advocates claimed by 
each, as follows: Townsendltes, 
20,000,000 to 25,000,000; Utopians. 
7 000,000, ol which more than half 
are Towitsendltes; 5,000,000 for 
Huey Long, and more than that for 
Coughlin." 

Of course there is no duplication, 
every one is a voter and will sup- 
port whoever the coalition selects 
for President — So-o-o, the rest of 
ns might as well emigrate to Can- 
ada to "save our shirti. If these 
dreams come true.

It b hard to quarrel with Regis- 
trar of Motor Vehicles Franli A. 
Goodwin over his caustic criticism 
of the court's action in automobile 
accident cases. To the layman It 
looks as if a policy of "punish- 
ment to fit the crime" was urgent- 
ly needed.

THONE RATES— Nearly every- 
one is interested in telephone 
rates. Many have a dual interest i 
as both stockholders and subscrib- 
er*. All of OS should know the facts 
of the situation, which do not 
warrant further monkeying with 
the N. E. Telephone company's 
business by vote-seeking politi- 
cians. The following answer to the 
query of a subscriber by the Bos- 
ton News Bureau deserves careful 
reading and study: 

Governor Curley ol Massachu- 
setts in' US' inaugural message in 
January Indicated that one of the 
early objectives of his administra- 
tion would be the secuiing of re- 
duced rates for electricity, gas and 
telephone service. Already pressure 
by the Governor has resulted in re- 
ductions by the state's electric 
power companies calculated to save 
consumers some $2,000,000 a year. 
Negotiations are going on between 
the Governor's representatives and 
the gas companies, as well as the 
New England Telephone Co., but 
no results have yet been an 
nounced.

that untiring energy and unceasing vigil

is to he brought back to it former straight 
and dignified paths. 

.Strangely eniingh, there is greater 
liarmony today in the Republican ranks 
than at any previous time in the past 
decade. That's anotlier thing defeat did 
— brought the Republicans to a realization 
of the fact that petty bickerings within 
the ranks must cease and that a united 
front must hereafter be presented. There 
arc — and always will be — a few recali- 
trants who refuse to stand in line with 
the party, but they are indeed few this 
year. This new chairman. Marr, quiet, 
soft-voiced and gracious to all, wields a 
heavy mailed fist when necessary, as 
usually men of his apparent gentleness do. 
.\nd he is going to have complete harmony 
within those councils which he directs 
or know the reason why. Marr is aston- 
ishing many of the old-timers by his soft- 
voiced tactics, that is until they realize 
that he accomplishes more that way than 
by a roar and a bellow. I'p in Maine, 
where Marr was a P>owdoin student, we 
found a gentleman of hi.gh repute, one 
George Webber, himself a distinguished 
attorney of the Pine Tree State, who ex- 
pressed this opinion of Vernon Marr. 
which is about as accurate as one could 
wish, saying. "Captain Vernon Marr was 
with nie during the war. I knew of him 
much at Howdoin though I was graduated 
long before liis time. At Bowdoin and 
military camp they used to say of him. 
"don't ever rile Marr, because underneath 
that gentleness there is the power and 
tenacity of a lion.' .\nd it's what T think 
I if him."

To the Editor of the Chrnnicle : ' 

May 1 coninient on the recent elec- 
tion from a point of view that may seem 
altogether wrong by most of your 
readers. Is there any connection be- 
tween these local affairs and the de- 
(dine of the Republican party in this 
Stale? It would seem to me that there 
is. .Vt a time when there are so many 
independent and Democratic voters 
who ;ire not in sympathy with the pres- 
ent Governor, it would seem the logical 
Tft^^ to make an intelligent effort to at- 
tract these voters to the G. C). P. stand- 
ard. But instead of intelligence we 
find what is to me the opposite. 

We find most of those men and wom- 
en who are high in the local Republi- 
can councils taking active part in a 
campaign of bitterness and prejudice, 
issuing slogans that mean nothing hut 
imply a whole lot. Their tactics must 
have some effect on the voter who looks 
for l)road and tolerant leadership and 
are remembered by him wdien these 
same men and women are pleading for 
their jjarty's candidate in State and 
national elections. I believe that these 
same conditions are found in many 
other communities and they show an 
amazing lack of political wisdom and 
foresight by many so-called politicians. 
I Iielieve that we are at the turn of the 
tide and if the hulk that was once the 
proud Republican ship is ever going 

sailing again the local barnacles must 
lie scraiied off and a new afterguard se- 
lected. Why not a local Town Com- 
mittee who will attract these dissati.s- 
tied voters instead of repelling them 
and who will remember that it is but

A SIGN OF THE TIMES 



The large .sign over the headquarter.s of the Jeffer.son 
club that has been staring in the face of people passing through 
Central square ever since Gov. Curley's election as governor has 
doubtless struck many people as a rather intrepid and premature 
slogan to have been launched when it was. But the governor's 
announcement last week that he would not be candidate for 
governor for a second term, since he proposed to run for II. S. 
.senator in 1936, .stamps the originator of the sign as the original 
booster (/ "Curley for Senator." Suspicion as to the .sponsor of 
this cry.stal gazing stunt points rather unmistakably to the 
popular president of the Jefferson club, Daniel F. OT.rien, who 
is a strong admirer of the governor and who was a zealous worker 
for him in his gul^ematorial campaign.

THE GOVERNOR'S "BRAIN TRUST" 



HERALD -NEWS 
FaJI River, Mass. 

MAR 2 8 1935 



The Boston Herald regards it as very strange that Gov. 
Ciirley did not draft a larger representation of Harvard men in 
making up his bi'ain trust, contrasting it with the policy of 
President Roosevelt, in surrounding himself with a bruin trust 
cabinet thickly sprinkled with Harvard professors. Regarding 
this the Herald comments in this wise: "You cannot throw a brick 
in a Washington crowd without winging somebody from Cam- 
bridge, and the Harvard Law school has been accused of making 
the capital a non-resident graduate school." 

The editorial then goes on to say that looking over the 
members of Gov. Curley's local brain trust it finds "only one 
01 two prominent Harvard men." The editoral concludes with this 
paragraph : 

When you consider that the governor honored 55 eminent 
:-esidents by appointment to committees on fish, laws, farming, 
economics, textiles, shoes and utilities, it seems strange that 
('ambridge was not able to make a better showing. Is Harvard 
.slipping? 

The Herald seems to overlook the obvious reason why so 
many Harvard men comprise the President's stafi', namely be- 
cause Mr. Roosevelt is himself a Harvard man and naturally has a 
strong leaning towards his alma mater. On the other hand it 
may be, having found that so many of the cream of Harvard's 
brainiest men have been called to Washington, Gov. Curley feels 
ihat to further drain the university of its quota of leading intellec- 
tuals would be to seriously cripple the institution. Then again, 
perhaps the governor sought more Harvard men and failed in 
ihe attempt to obtain them. Who knows? 

However, we do not assume to speak with any authority 
for Gov. Curley in this matter. He evidently had his reasons for 
picking his advisers, and far be it from us to question his motives. 
Nor have we any fear on the score that Harvard is "slipping."

/ New England's Summer Trade. 



[^-<|0V. CURLEY'S musical voice, reservoir of knowledge and 
ll I winged imagination combined to make his New England 
IV-yj recitative on the air the other night a prose poem, the 
beauty and rhythm of which must have stirred the whole 
country were the national broadcasting facilities carrying his 
song to distant States. The Yankee nctwoik made it available 
only to New England itself. 

The governor counsels conceited action by New England 
States to promote a glorious heritage of recreational advantages — 
sparkling lakes and rivers, cool and salty seacoast, beaches, hills. 
mountains, forests, interminable miles of superb highways and 
entrancing scenery. Mr. Curley believes that efficient advertis- 
ing would expand New England's svimmer tourist trade up to 
the billion-dollar mark. 

Atlantic City, as he reminded the listeners, was built by men 
who had faith in an idea. The money of the millions who aie 
drawn to Atlantic City each yea?: vindicates their faith and re- 
turns substantial dividends on the original investment. New 
England has more to offer. More to offer for six months, from 
late spring to early autumn, than any other section of the country 
offers in summer or winter.

yesterday afternoon with Governor I'nvUeaw join i ^k ^^^ 



Curley, repre-^eittatlves of the East 
Racing Association who have applied 
for Kast Boston, and the Massachn- , 
setts Horse Racing Association, wlilch ' 
has applied for a track at the Dorr 
estate, Winter street, Framingham | 
Centre. 

Governor Curley requested thej 
commission to clean up hearings and : 
award a license for a hor.se track 
within ten days, so that work may! 
start on the erection of a track by 
a week from Monday. 

Since Walter O'Hara withdrew 
from the Eastern Racing Association 
as he claimed East Boston was not a, 
suitable spot for a track, members 
of the Suffolk Downs group investi- 
gated the possibilities of erecting a 
plant in Framingham and Natick. 

Of the original group Charles F. 
Adams the Bruins-Braves official, 
argued in favor of East Boston. On 
the grounds that a track In the 
Noddle Island area would outdraw 
a track in any other location in the 
State by 40 percent. Tlils increased 
ittendancc it was said would offset 
-he necessity of an extra expenditure 
3f something like $500,000 to build lu 
East Boston. 

Wlien the Investigations of the 
Framingham and Natick layout* ■ 
were completed the Eastern Seeing 
As.soclatlon decided to stick by Its 
original plans to build in East Bos- 
ton. This action meets with the ap- 
proval of Gov. Curley, who has been 
In favor of the East Boston site ever 
since the application was filed. 
Norwood Offer Falls 
The oHer made last week by the 

Boston Metropolitan Airport., Inc.! 
which has applied for the Norwood 
license, to double the State's Income 
once the track has been paid for, 
seems to have met with little en- , 
:>uragement. Several horsemen af- 



'have been reluctant. They do not 
believe 3 percent would be sufficient 
to meet the overhead of the track 
even after It has been paid for. 

The commission has not made any 
public announcement as to its re- 
action on the Norvvucd invitation, but 
from reliable sources it is understood 
that the commission can only ac- 
cept 316 percent of the pari-mutuel 
handle fts required by law. 

The Suffolk Downs group, through 
its attorney, Charles H. Innes, yes- 
terday filed detailed building and 
equipment plans with the commis- 
sion. It also gave assurance that the 
necessary funds have been raised to 
erect the track once the license is 
granted. It Is expected that ten 
weeks' work will be required to erect 
the track. 

East Boston Protest 

Thus far the only protest over the 
building of a track In East Boston has 
come from the Ministers' Association 
in that district. It Is understood this 
(irganlzatlon plans to protest the 
granting of a license to the Suflolk 
Downs track at the public hearing 
next week. 

jOfficers of the Eastern Racing As- 
sociation. Inc., are Bayard Tucker- 
man, president; Allan J. Wilson, vice 
president, and Richard Ely Danlelson, 
;:;;cretary. Others afilliated with the 
group are C. P. Adams, John R. Ma- 
(omber, William J. McDonald and 
V. C. Bruce Wetmore. 

Actual racing should start late In 
June with two meetings and ap- 
proximately 66 days of racing. The 
: tart of the first meeting will prob- 
ably conflict with Narragansett. 
Avhere the opening dates are from 
.rune 19 through July 6. A secretary 
for the track will be hired within a, 
v.'eek to start arranging for the ship- 
ment of leading .stables to the East 
Boston track. ,

CURLEY, 90 DAYS AFTER 

As the end of Gov. Cu rley's first 
CO days in office nears, a siunmary 
of his record is anything but flat- 
tering to him. In a short space of 
time he has acquired an incredibly 
long list of black marks. 

He has ousted political enemies 
from office, some of whose jobs had 
been well earned, otliers not so well 
earned. 

He has fought against an appar- : 
fently honest attempt to investigate 
' • Certain land deals in Boston dur- 
ing his administration as mayor. 

He has attempted to nullify by 
executive threat a law which au- 
thorizes certain sworn officials to 
perform civil marriages. 

He went off to Florida to play : 
golf, leaving his secretaries to en- 
gage in rowdyism. 

He commissioned a secretary, Mi-. 
Gra:it, to broadcast Curley propa- 
ganda over the radio, and his secre- 
tary indulged in such vilification of 
individuals that one radio station 
refused to extend the privilege 
further to Mr. Grant. 

He has said that he thinks a state 
lottery might be a good thing. "II 
might be a good substitute for a lot 
of things." he says. 

Then, on top of it all, before his 
first 90 days as governor are over, 
he accepts the nomination for , 
United States senator in 1936. After 
bringing in his trail a new spirit of 
rowdyism to the State House and 
failing to perform a single piece of 
significant executive work, he an- 
nounces in effect tliat tlie governor's 
office is small potatoes to him; he is 
too big for it; he yearns, before t!ic 
fii-st quarter of his first year is end- 
ed, for bigger and broader fields. 

Only in such topsy-turvy times as| 
these, when the government sup- 
ports the people, could an office- 
holder hope to advance to higher 
political rewards by using Curley- 
esque, swashbuckling tactics.

BY J. V. CLARK, 

BOSTON, March 28— Charles T. 
Beaupre, who thru a petition, seeks 
reinstatement as captain of the State I'eprimanding a subordinate it that 
Police, suffered a setback in his subordinate had powerful friends 
plans thru the hearing on his pe- ^" ^^^ Legislature. The subordi- 
liticn by the House Ways and Means ^^^^ could always go to the Legis- 
Committee. That committee, to Mature and try to have his superior 
which the matter had to be referred officer overridden, "as was done in 
as it affected state finance, will ^^^ Beaupre case." 
probably report the measure by a 
vote of 6 to 5 or 7 to 4. 

The Public Safety Committee, 
however, which first heard the 
Beaupre petition, favored the 



Yz 



rem- 

slatement of Beaupre unanimously; 
The attitude of the Ways and Means 
committee Is not hard to understand 
to those familiar with State House 
ways. The committee is "hard- 
boiled", it contains several ultra- 
conservative E,epublicans, who are 



anything but inclined to support n 
measure, such as the Beaupre meas- 
ure, which has strong Democratic 
support, and, finally, the Ways and 
Means received much more damag- 
ing information concerning the 
Beaupre regime in the State Police 
than the first committee which 
heard the matter. 

The blast against Beaupre and his 
superior officer, former Commis- 
sioner of Public Safety Alfred F 
Foote, delivered by the State Reg- 
istrar of Motor Vehicles Frank A. 
Goodwin, undoubtedly did Beaupre 
much harm. 

Goodwin said in effect: "When J 
was formerly registrar I did every- 
thing in my power to get Foole 
and Beaftpre out of office. I did 



In this belief that the state serv- 
ice would be impaired by the Beau- 
pre reinstatement, Goodwin — was 
seconded by Commissioner of Pub- 
lic Safety Kirk and former-Com- 
missioner Needham, Both Kirk 
and Needham appciired against the 
Beaupre reinstatement, Kirk mak- 
ing much the nore forceful argu- 
ment. 

In fact, Kirk not only opposed 
the Beaupre reinstatement, but he 
delivered a most effective speech. 
After he had concluded there wer<? 
many in the large audience— and 
some committeemen— who frankly 
■said that Kirk was a man to be 
watched. He is apparently a good 
executive: he is an able lawyer, and 
as a speaker he has few superiors 
on Beacon Hill. Kirk may go far 
in the state service. 

The Beaupre reinstatement peti- 
tion is not going to be easily dis- 
posed of, in fact it will rip the Leg- 
islature open and will result in all 
sorts of wire-pulling and log-rolling. 
A favorable report will probably 
fo into (lie House by the narrowest 
of margins. The po.ssibilily is that 
the House will vote to reinstate 
Beaupre. Then the matter will go 
to the Senate, which, informal ob, 
servation indicates, is about evenl'"

One suggestion, made at the Beau- 
pre hearing by Rep. John Lassel! 
of Northbridge, Republican— war- 
rants study. Lassell seems to think 
that when Beaupre "took it on the 
chin" for others and resigned from 
the State Police, he suffered a hard- 
ship, ina.smuch as General Foote 
was immediately retired with a liv- 
ing pension, while Beaupre is out 
in the snow, the cold and the rain. 
Lassell suggests that, as Foote got a 
retirement pension, some pen.sion 
flight be granted to Beaupre, pro- 
vided he is not reinstated. 

Those opposing the Beaup»e re- 
instatement hasten to point out that 
Beaupre was not forced to resign, 
that be did not resign in a panic, 
and that, as a matter of fact, he re- 
signed only after deliberation Snd 
^dvice from Feeney and Callahan, 
two of the ablest lawyers in the 
state. The results of Beaupre's 
resignation, they state, should be 
assumed entirely by himself, and not

There appears to be a question whether 
the radio station barred "Dick" Grant or 
the governor barred the radio station. 



Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell is to have 
charge of the battle against dust storms. 
We have a feeling that he is much better 
qualified for that job than for censor of 
food advertising. 



First we had the slogan "Buy a bale of 
cotton." Then the bakers sent up the cry 
"Buy more bread." Now Governor Curley 
Mants to revise it to "Eat more fish." 



Dr. Townsend says he will not run for 
President because he is not fitted for it 
mentally or physically. That is one Town- 
send statement that merits approval. 



When held up for speeding "Babe' 
Ruth said he was not speeding but merelj 
"hurrying to catch a boat." Most of us an 
"just hurrying" for some good reason hv\ 
the traffic officers don't seem to unde: 
stand the distinction.

BIGGER CONSUMPTION 
/ OF FISHJS URGED 

BOSTON, March 27 (/P)- The fish 
cries today had a day in court, 
both in Washington and on Beacon 
Hill. 

Governor James M. Curley, meet- 
ing with represetlTflTIVes of the in- 
dustry, announced a broad program 
intended to increase consumption 
of fish and result in a saving for 
the commonwealth and residents of 
the state. 

At Washington a bill providing 
for establishment of non-profit 
sharing corporations to buy and 
dispose of surplus fish was intro 
duced in 1h» Hou.se by Senato.- 
Walsh (D) and Representative An- 
drew (R) of Massachusetts. Under 
the measure the Reconstruction 
corporation could make loans for 
the conduct of such non-profit cor- 
porations, 

Under the governor's program, 
use of fish in state institutions 
would be increased by a third, and 
this, the governor said, would re- 
sult in a $30,000 saving to the state, 
and an advert isinc and educational 
program would be arranged by the 
division of necessaries of life, the 
division of fish and game, the divi- 
sion of marine fisheries and the di- 
vision of markethiL' of the depart- 
ment of agriculture. 

The governor's plan calls for 
employment of upward of 1.000 
emergency relief workers to make 
a house to hou.sc canvas to en- 
courage use of fish, while other 
ERA workers skilled in domestic 
science would be assigned to in- 
struct stewards of state institutions 
in methods of preparing sea food. 

A resolution favoring tariffs to 
protect the home industry from 
foreign competition was adopted by 
"'" """ornor's council.

C. Hultman, while polce commission-

voted a $1300-a-year pension by the

ernor Curley said today. 

The goveinor made this statement 
after conferring- with his personal

tion with the ouster charges against 
Hultman, now chairman of the Met- 
I'opolitan District commission, to be 
heard Wednesda.y by the Governor's 
Council. 

After the pension was voted Jan, 
20, 1931, the governor said, an ob- 
jection was raised that Hultman wa.<i 
not eligible for a pension becau.se he 
already was a paid employee of the 
city. 

The $1300 prnsion was voted. Cur- 
ley said, on the basis of a $4000 
aiuiual .salary. 

A.skcd as to the position held by 
Hultman with the Klevated, the gov- 
ernor said: 

"I don't know that he held a posi- 
tion. He was supposed to be em- 
ployed in the engineering depart- 
ment in some capacity." 

Hultman is a graduate of Massa-

the proposal to expend $100,000 in 
promoting recroational Interests of

verting In all parts of the coun-

In support of the Governor's ap-

SENATE REJECTS BILL FIXING

BOSTON, March 27 m— The 
State senate today rejected legisla- 
tion to mnl<e mandatory a recent 
agreement between Governor James 
M. C urlcy and rcprosentalivc bank- 
ers m fKe state fixing a mortgage 
interest rate of five and one-half 
per cent. 

During the debate Senator Jo- 
seph Langono of Boston, urging 
that the bankers' recent agreement 
be made into law, told the S''nate, 
that Massachusetts had an attor- 
ney general "with courage to put 
the thieving bankers where Ihoy

Welcome Relief 



The radio station which has shut 
off the G overno r's secretary is to be 
copimended. Nothing very dignified 
was expected when it was announced 
that that individual would go on the 
air, and the public has received just 
what wa;^ expected, only more so. 

The Secretary has not only gone 
on the au-, but has fed the public on 
air, at high temperatures. The fond- 
ness which he has for wisecracks al- 
most outdoes Jimmy Walker, and 
certainly offends and irritates more 
people than the forjner Mayor of 
New Yorlc did. 

The public wearies of tliat soft of 
thing, yet it has been dealt out those 
wisecracks in largie measure on the 
air, through the press, in public 
statements, in legislative committee 
rooms, in fact everywhere that the 
secretary has had occasion to talk. 

If something refined and dignifled. 
worth while and of importance could , 
be uttered, the public would be glad 
to hear it, but there has hardly been 
a single public statement fro.m that 
Individual that, was creditable, dig- 
nified, and free from bombast and 
viiuncation. 

Out ot respect for the feelings of 
those who desire to listen to some- 
thing vfOrth while, the radio station 
6iwnpe6' .the lid down, and refused 
to allow (jie secretary to indulged in 
aiiy more such vocal parades. 

Ah earnest discussion of state is- 
sues, true to the facts, free from par- 
tteanship, and without the grinding 
of a political ax the public is glad 
to listen to, which is a far different 
thing from hitting out right and left 
aii everybody who stands in the way 
6t him who speaks, or authorizes a 
radio speech. 

"this applies to -all corners of the 
Sktte House, to the executive depart- 
mtnl as well as the legislative de- 
partment.

SENATE EXPECTED 
TO BOOST BUDGET 



When Vote is Taken on 
Various Items . 

IN THIS STATE 



Committee Expected to 
Defer Action on $100,- 
000 for State Advertis- 
ing Purposes. 



(By Arthur W. Woodman— Tran- 
script Staff Correspondent) 
State HouEe, Boston, March 28— 
Budget items are expected to be 
sUghtly increased in the Senate, 
when the vote is taken on expendi- 
tures totalling $58,963,750 adopted by 
the House of Representatives. 

It is believed that the Senate Ways 
and Means committee will defer ac- 
tion on the proiposed expenditure of 
$100,000 for state advertising re- j 
quested by Governor James M. Cur- I 
ley, until there is legislation enacted | 
to specifically designate the use for | 
which that money will be used. 

Pending legislation relative to the 
Dape Cod Camp site will boost the 1 
budget another $60,000 when adopted 
Mid signed by the Governor. 

Attempt will be made in the Sen- 
ate to strike from the budget the item 
esUblishing the employment office 
created by the Governor; to amend 
the budget by eliminating the job m 
the income tax division of the Tax 
Commissioners office created to care 
for an ousted member of the House; 
to seek to strike from the budget the 
appropriation for $3400 to maintain 
ftn "ambassador" or lobbyist at 
Washington to protect Massachusetts : 
Interests. ' 

The Senate is face to face with a 
trying problem, receiving a budget 
increased over the recommendations 
of the Ways and Means committee 
by $151,000 with consideration being 
given pending legislation which if 
enacted will call for another $3,000,- 
000 in the budget. 

Within the next few days the Ways 
and Means committee of the Senate 
will prepare its budget recommenda- 
tions for the consideration of the en- 
tire body. 

It is expected that members of the 
committee will attempt to ward off 
attempts to have enacted the $100,- 
000 advertising appropriation until 
the sponsors, including the Governor, 
present definite legislation to cover 
the appropriation. 



anould there be no legislation in- 
troduced, the Senate may be the 
scene of a stormy debate, with Re- 
publican leadeis assailing leading 
Democrats, predicted to be named in 
connection with the advertising item, i 

The taxpayers groups which re- I 

ceTved a'setback in the fight for econ- 
omy at the hands of tlie House of 
Representatives, have started anew 
their battle for economy, now con- 
centrating in Senate members. 

The associations are recorded as 
opposed to the creation of new Jobs, 
state advertising of recreational pos- 
sibilities, purchase of the National 
Guard camp site on Cape Cod and 
thfe expenditure of $150,000 for addi- 
tional state forest land, to be used to 
afford COC work for Massachusetts 
men. 

The Senat,e appears to be In mood 
to cut some of the items including 
the appropriation set for the Job 
created to care for J. Dolan Hath- 
away of Pall River, unseated by the 
House after sitting for two months. 

Faced with two possible moves the 
Senate is entering the budget fight 
at a loss from the stai-t; first there is 
the consideration that money must 
be expended to afford "work and 
wages," recently a forgotten term 
and second is harassed by thg„tj!:^.T 



payers' statement to the effect that 
they "have reached their hmit," and 
must al.so consider the $3,000,000 
needed to pay for pending legislation 
if and when enacted.

bdili members of a (i"legalion 



which appeared lielore the tobac- 1 
CO control group in Washington | 
recently and urged the continued 
curtailment ot tobacco produc- 
tion. After presenting their case, 
the de;egates v.'cro informed by 
the board that Secretary Wallace 
had already signed a hill raising 
the quotas for I'j;!.^.. But for the 
protests ot this delegation from 
the growers, the program for in- 
creased acreage would have gone

CURLEY TO SEEK^ 
'FEDERAL GRAMT 

$40,000,000 Required to 
Remove Overhead 
Structure of Boston Ele- 
vated. 



Boston, March 28— (AP.)— Cover-- 

nor James M. Curley says he will 
seek a federal grant of $40,000,000 
for removal ol overhead structure of 
the Boston Elevated railway and 
construction of a subway system, in 
Its place. 

The overhead structures forms ft 
continuation of the Washington 
street subway, which runs through 
the downtown section. At one end 
it runs to the Forest Hills terminal 
and at the other end to Sullivan 
square. 

Under the governor's plan, the 
Btreet tunnel would be extended at 
each end to take the place of the 
elevated structure. 

He said he would ask for the fed- 
eral grant next week when he goes 
to Washington. 

Chairman Charles F. Connors of 
the Massachusetts racing commis- 
sion, announced last night that no 
horse track licenses or additional dog 
track permits would be issued until 
public hearings had been held on., 
each license. 

The commLssion already has issued 
permits for dog tracks in Dighton 
and West Springfield and has helc' 
up a license for a Revere dog track 
pending a public hearing. 

Chairman Connor set next Mon- 
day and Tuesday as the dates for 
hearing dog track applications and 
next Wednesday as the day upon

Debate on No-Fix Act Bit- 
ter Despite Offer to 
Cut Present Fines 



SpFrinl l„ ,<tfand„rd-T<m(, 

BOSTON, March 28-Repcal of 
the no-fix" parking law, which 
has been in force but a year, was 
demanded yesterday by (he House 
of Representatives with a slnnHir,^ 
vote Of S9 to 7,, afTer a\!uer a"^ 
bate on the floor. 

The battle for the repeal of the 

1 Thon,'^*-\. 'o'* ^y Representative 

! Thomas E. Barry and Tony A. Cen- 

racch.o, both of East Boston, after 

t_he Senate had voted to cut the 

fines down to $1 fo,. the first of- 

i^r^'J^ '"J ^^^ ^^""""i offence, 
and $3 for the third and subsequent 
offencee, and recommended that 
the driving licenses of persistent 
offenders be suspended instead of 
revoked. 

Says Business Hurt 

Appealing- for the adoption of his 
repeal meaeure in place of the Sen- 
at9 perfecting bill, Representative 
Barry protested that the "no-fix" 
parking law was driving business 
out of Boston and indignantly com- i 
plained that even a member of the 
House had been tagged with the 
result that the member's sister who ' 
owned the car, was summoned to 
court. 

Barry and Centracchio were sup- 
ported in the debate by Representa- 
tives George F. Killgoar of Dor- 
chester, and Leo E. J. Carney of 
New Bedford, who protested that 
a New Bedford motorist was fined 
in the Boston court although his 
machine had not been out of New 
Bedford for six months. 

Opposition to the substitution of 
the repeal bill for the Senates pro- 
posal to reduce the fines was led 
by Representative Martin Hays of 
Brighton, Kepublican floor leader, 
who predicted that repeal of the 
law would result in the return oC 
"fixing." His stand was supported; 
by Representatives Philip Barnet 
oC New Bedford, Terrence bomax I 
Jr., of Fall River and Laurence 
Curtis 2nd, of the Back Bay who 
contended that the Senate reduc- 
tion was a "boon to motorists." 

In an attempt to reach a com- 
promise, Fl;epresentative Thomas 
Dorgan of Borchester of.fered an 
amendment to the Senate hill re- 
ducing fines still further. He pro- 
posed that no fine be charged for 
the first offence, only $1 for the 
second offence and biit $2 for the 
third and subsequent offences 
against the parking- law 



Back HalUwell Bill 

Representatives of several com- 
munities urged the Legislative 
Committee on Taxation to act fa- 
vorably on a bill, drafted by Repre- 
sentative John Halliwell of New 
Bedford, authorizing cities and 
owns to borrow money outside the 
debt limit for welfare expenses and 
municipal costs incident to E. R. 
A. projects. 

Representative Walter R. Baylies 
of Taunton, the principal speaker, 
said that if the legislation ia en- 
acted his municipality would be en- 
abled to borrow $187,000 for wel- 
fare purposes. 

The Legislative Committee on 
Civil Service favorably reported a 
bill placing the offices" of chief en- 
gineer of r.is fire department and 
chief of police of the city of Taun- 
ton xinder civil service. The com- 
mittee inserted an amendment for 
a referendum on acceptance of the 
change to be submitted to the vot- 
ers at the annual municipal elec- 
tion in the current year. 

Representatives from Salem, Ha- 
verhill and Peabody have requested 
the Legislative Committee on Con- 
stitutional Law to act favorably on 
a bill to memorialize Congress for 
legislation requiring that articles 
made of imitation leather be so 
marked. 

Approves Resolution 

Timothy Dorgan, president of the 
Peabody City Council, approved the 
resolution, charging ihai purchas- 
ers of imitation leather goods were 
being deceived by the product they j 
bought, 1 

Charles E. Moore, of Brockton, j 
a member of the Governor's Shoe I 
Committee, opposed the resolution,! 
a.seerting thai such legislation 
would increase by 60 percent the 
manufacturing cost of some shoes. 
Moore said the use of materials 
other than leather in shoes was a| 
recent development in the industry I 
and was an improvement. j 

f [j]fir •flurlr;- discussing his .' 

conference with members of the j 
State Racing Commission stated ; 
that he had iirged the board to ex-' 
pedite action on the granting of 



a horse track license so that work 
might get underway. He said he 
believed the commission had done 
a "commendable job" in handling 
the dog license sit\iation. The com- 
mission, he added, will hold hear- 
ings on horse locations and make 
a definite decision within ten days. 
The Legislative Committee ' on 
Military Affairs has reported fa- 
vorably a resolve authorizing the 
Art Commission to add the names 
of chaplains to the tablet in the 
State House commemorating the 
services of chaplains in the World 
War, The resolve specifically au- 
thorizes the addition of the names 
of the Rev. William .loseph Far- 
rell. finst lieutenant of the lO.'ird 
Field Artillery and of the lO-ith tu- 
' fantry, and of the Rev. Lvman 
Rollins, first lieutenant of the" 101st

SENATE KILLS ' 
MORTGAGE BILL 

Refuses to Make 5^2 Per- 
cent Interest Rate 
Law 

Sprciul (0 fUnmiiird-Timef 

BOSTON, March 28-^An attempt; 
by IJemocratic members of the Sen- 1 
ate to jam through a bill making j 
mandatory, in effect. Governor Cur- 
ley's agreement with the "USTTKers 
for a Ave and one-half percent in- 
terest rate on home bank mort- 
gages appears doomed to failure. 

The Senate has before it 22 ad- 
veise reports on bills reducing this 
rate of interest. The House of Rep- 
resentatives has already accepted 
the adverse reports. 

A two hour debate was waged 
yesterday when Senator Charles T. 
Cavanagh (D), Cambridge, fought 
to substitute his bill for an adverse 
report. He received support from 
Senator William F. Madden, Bos- 
ton, Joseph A. Lan.gone Jr.. Bos- 
ton, Thomas M. Burke. Boston Wil- 
liam S. Conroy, Fall River, all 
Democrats. Senatoi Joseph R. Cot- 
ton, Lexington. Republican and 
chau-man of the committee on 
banks and banking in charge of the 
adverse reports, attacked the con- 
stitutionality of the proposed law. 

Briefly, the Democratic senators 
wanted the Governor's agreemen*^ 
m "black and white law." 

The motion to substitute the Cav- 
anagh bill lost on roll call vote, 17 

•T^"-n ii >l m iil ii_ 

Senators from New Bedford and

er, (present) voted yes. 
! A motion to reconsider will come 
up on Friday. 

Meanwhile, Senator John S. Sul- 
livan of Worcester moved substi- 
tution of his bill with an amend- 
ment to make the measure con,sti- 
tutional. His bill provided at 5H 
percent rate. This was being fought

, dog racins. a former SprinKfield resi- 
dent, now living in Miami, the heart 
of the dos racing center in the East, 
, has thi.s to say of methods allegedly 
: u.sed to "fix" races: 

"One attendant .says he has known, 
races to be fi.Ned. when an offici.-il per- 
. sonally placed a bet, hy makin.^ the I 

[kennel door stick. When the. race l.=) 
on all diiifs are in separate kennels in 
a row, and the doors lift at once. 
But a sure winner can be eliminated 
by having the door fixed .so It will lift 
after the others, thereby givins a Ions 
shot a head start and so a better 
chance at winning. Too, the dos piven 
the inside kennel has a lietter winning 
chance. 

"According to a native bettor, other 
unfair methods used are: In order to 
(five a second best dog a show, the 

i favorite is overfed or given too miuh 
water; or a sand sijur put between 
Its toes: or a rubber band about Its 
ankle. Sometimes ii has been known 

; that a dog is put into the kennel back- 

! wards and so is retarded."

Bay State Recreational 

Publicity Drive Opens 



Hearing Tomorrow on Bill to Authorize Appro- 
priation of $100,000; Designed to Attract 
Tourists and Summer Residents. 



Got. Curlc y has announced the pro- 
firaili lUI''"!jdvertising Massachusetts' 
recreational assets which will be 
adopted if Hoiise Bill 638, calling for 
an appropriation tor $100,000 is 
approved. 

A public hearing will be held on the 
bill Friday at 10.30 a. m. in Room 245 
at the State House before the Ways 
and Means Committee, l-iep. Albert 
F. Bigelovv te chairman of the com- 
mittee, and it is understood that the 
committee requested an announce- 
ment of the plan that would be fol- 
lowed before any action would be 
taken on the bill. 

Secretary of Stale Frederic W. Cook 
ivould be in charge of the appointment 
of a well-trained and experienced 
publicity director, and the office of the 
Secretary of State would be the head- 
quartera for the recreational develop- 
ment division which would direct tho 
efforts to attract tourists and summer 
residents to the Commonwealth. 

The recreational advertising Is to 
be divorced from politics, according to 
all reports, and the overhead is to be 
kept very low. The plan to have the 
work center in the office of the Secre- 
tary of State is patterned on that of 
Vermont's publicity which was found 
to be the ma-it economical plan of any 
of the New KuRlaiid States. 

Western Massachusetts will gain 
considerable direct benefit from the 
recreational advertising, according to 
R. C. Maddux, secretary of the recre- 
ational development division of the 
New England Council. Booklets, i.a- 
tional magazine advertising, newspa- 
pers and radio, stickers and cards will 
be rsed in an advertising campaigu 
that will be the mo.st extensive ever 
utidtrtaken in New England. Each of 
the New England States will con- 
tribute a share of the advertising 
costs, based upon the value of their 
recreational property, to the all-New 
England campaig-. which will be !i- 
rected- by the New England Council. 
Each Slate will retain funds for the 
conduct of their state publicity, and 
will function in coopeiation with the 
New England Council so that unusu- 
allv efficient i-eturns are expected to 
be secured for the money expended. 

No billboard advertising will lie used 
on the open roads in this Comrrren- 
wealth connection with the new ad- 
vertising program, according to the 
i. formation given the writer, rosters 
vsili be used in commercial areas, hut 
only $3000 will be expended for these 
out of a bndgpt of Jfifi.flOO to be srient 



by Massachusetts if the bill la passed. 

Massachusetts' issessed valuation 
of recreational property is $192,000,000 
out of a total for New England of 
$550,000,000. Massachusetts' share for 
the all-New England recreational pub- 
licity program wilil be $34,000. Maine 
come.s next in line, with its share set 
at $20,000; New HanijSshire, $17,ii00; 
Rhode Island, $11,. ',00; Connecticit, 
$9500 and Vermont $(5900. Every State 
except Ma,s,sachusetts and Connecticut 
has already pa.ssed its legislation mak- 
ing these funds available to the New 
England program with additional 
funds for their state program. Con- 
necticut is seeking an appropriation 
of $250,000 to cover the costs of the 
Tercentenary. 

Massachu.setts' recreational publici- 
ty program has been worked o\it by 
some of the country's leading adver- 
tising authorities in cooperation n-ith 
the New England Council and Gov. 
Curle.y. The aim ha.'s been to evolve 
an cfCertive program on the most eco- 
nomical basis. The plan calls for the 
following program of expenditures; 
.\11-New England campaign under di- 
rection of New England Council. 
$34,000; national m;igazine advertis- 
ing, $20,000; newspaper and radio ad- 
vertising, $20,000; posters in commer- 
cial areas, $3000; booklets showing 
.Mas.sachusetf.s' recreational attrac- 
tions, $10,000; miscellaneous fund for 
c;ir cards, sllck"is, courtesy cards, etc., 
$2000; overhead, including siilary, 
mal.s, stationery, etc., $13,000. 

Many organizations in the eastern 
part of the .S'fate and even on the Cape 
are lining uj) to appe;ir in favor of 
the p.'issage of the Hou.so bill at the 
hearing P'riday, and it is expected that 
considerable interest and support will 
he available in Western Mas.sachii- 
setts. Telegrams and letters to Ch.'iir- 
man Albert F. Bigelow of Brookline 
are to be sent by many local organiza- 
tions, and a large delegation at the 
public hearing would go far toward 
putting Western .VIa."-.sachusetts in 
line to benefit from the recreatlon.'il 
publicity that wotild he undertaken 
upon the p.ns.'s.'iRe of the hill.

SENATE REFUSES 
TO FIX MORTGAGE 
RATES FOR STATE 



All-Afternoon Debate Con- 
cludes With Question Un- 
decided and Another Simi- 
lar Measure Pending 

From Our Special Reporter 

Boston, March 27 — The Senate this 
afternoon refu.sed to favor a bill to 
make statutory tho agreement be- 
tween Gov Curlcy and certain banks 
of the state to make the interest rate 
on all moi'tgages on dwelling houses 
o'/i per cent. The decision came aft- 
er an all-afternoon debate, and final- 
ly, upon motion of Senator Francis 
M. MclCeon of Springfield, the Senate 
adjourned until Friday, with another 
interest rate measure pending. 

During the debate on the mortgage 
interest bill, an amendment was of- 
fered providing for the maximum rate 
to be o>/4 per cent on mortgage loans 
by banks and insurance companies. 
This was fought so hard by Repub- 
lican memlier.s, as a menace to eco- 
nomic and .social life and to the 
banks, that Cavanaugh withdrew the 
first part of his amendment, which 
had called for the r.ate on loans on all 
real estate instead of j\ist dweling 
houses. 

Cavanaugh .Amendment 0. K'd 

Senator .\ithur W. llollis of New- 
ton e.vi)ressed the hope that next 
week when the budget is under con- 
sideration, those favoring this mort- 
gage loan maximum, who are so 
anxious to help the home-owner, 
would show it in treatment of that 
measure. 

The Cavanaugh amendment was 
adopted by a rising vote of 12 to 10, 
and then the bill was refused substi- 
tution, for an adverse report, on a 
roll call vote of 17 to 14. Notice of 
intent to seek reconsideration Friday 
was given. The adverse report on the 
bill was accepted. 

Senator John Sullivan of Worcester 
moved to substitute his bill to cs- 
ta.blish the interest legally charge- 
able upon loans secured by first mort- 
gages on owner-occupied real estate, 
offering two amendments, one to make 
the law applicable only to mortga.gps 
made after effective date thereof at 
5',4 per cent and the other that it n[i- 
l>ly only to houses occupied by not 
more than four families and in whole 
or in part by the owner thereof, hav- 
ing assessed valuation of not more 
than $20,000. 

Senator Harry B. Rutnam raised a 
point of order that the matter In this 
bill had previously been disposed of 
adversely, hut President Moran ruled 
the point not w^ell taken. 

.McKpown On llpcord 

.\fter considerable debate. Senator 
McKeown said these bills had Vieen 
defeated in the House and t^e Senate 
had had one roll call this afternoon. 
On that he said he voted in favor of 
the 61/5 per cent rate, and thus was 
on record .so his constituents will 
know where he stands. It appeared 
to him nothing more could be accom- 
plished .so he moved, at 4.55, after 
more than Iwo hours of banking de- 
bate, that the Senate adjourn. This 
was voted and the Sullivan bill went 
over until Friday.

SAFETY PROMOTION! 



Expects to Call Attention to| 

■ Holyoke's Record in State- j 

ment Today I 

Holjokc. March 27 — R. J. I>aporte, \ 
secretar.v-manaS:er of the Tri-County j 
lAutomobile cluh, has just received 
'word frorrf Secretary Bodfish of Gov- 
James Ciuley's offiue that the gov- ■ 
ernor will issue a proclamation to- 
mori'ow cone-ratuIatinB HoIyol?e upon 
its vi'ondorful safety rccoj'd for 1034. 
The proclamation will he read tomor- 
row noon at the luncheon meetinfr 
sponsored by the Tri-Coimtry Auto- 
mobile club at the Hotel Nonoluck, 
at which meeting a representative of 
the national safety council will pre- 
sent lo Mayor Henry J. Toepfert a 
certificate of award for Holyoke be- 
InK judRed tiie second safest city In 
the entire United States in its pop\i- 
lation pi-oup from Sn.nno to lOn.dOO, 

Police, city, school and Automobile 
club offlcialfl will attend the ltui(*eon 
and also be present to listen to tilit! 
national tirondcast nt 1.30 to 2 p. m., 
rtnrin? which (he entire country will 
be advised of Holyoke's excellent 1934 
record. 

City Marshal David F. Allyn. Lieut 
P. J. Driscoll, Safety Officer JcromiaJh 
F. Golden, and in fact the entire per- 
sonnel! of the police department feel 
elated over this awatd. "Under the 
schedule a city could not win throufrh 
any lucky record but a real profrram 
that produced results had to be tihe 
basis for determining the winners. 
The terms of the contest recognized 
two kinds of safety accomplishments: 
First, a low death rate from motor ve- 
hicle accidents, and a Icvwcring of the 
death rnte from prcviiMis years; and, 
secondly, the enactment of resula- 
tions, the .setting: up of administrative 
machinery and the conduct of educa- 
tional activities which, accordinc to 
general e.xperlenee, are bound to bring 
eventual accident savings. Holyoke 
accomplished both requisites as our 
fatality rale was reduced from 16 in 
l^XS to five fatalities In insi. The co- 
operation between the police depart- 
ment, school department, .\utomobilc 
club, etc.. was a determinins: factor in 
the second necessary requirements for

Mortgage 



Interest Bill Is } 
Doomed to Failure 



Attempts of Democratic Sen- 
ators to Substitute Cava- 
naugh Measure for Adverse 
Report Lost 17-14 

I Special to The Newsl 
State House. Boston. March 28 — An 
attempt by Democratic members of 
the senate to lam throuuh » bill 
moking mandatory, in effect. Gov, 
James M. Curley's agreement with 
the bankers for a five and one-half 
per cent intereist rate on home bank 
mortgaRes appear-s doomed to failure. 
The .senate- has before it 22 adverse 
reports on bills reducing this rate of 
lnt.erest. The house of representatives 
has already accepted the adverse re- 
ports. 

A two hour debate was waged yes- 
terday when Senator Charles T Cav- 
annph iD), Cambridge, fought to 
substitute his bill for «n adverse re- 
' port. He received support from Sena- 
tors William r. Madden. Boston; Jo- 
seph A, Langoue, Jr.. Boston; Thomas 
M. Burke, Boston; William 8. Conroy, 
Fall Elver, all Democrats. Senator 
Jo.'=eph B. Cotton. Le.Mngton, Heputa- 
llcan. and chairman of the commit- 
tee on banks and baukin.s;. in charge 
of the adverse reports, attacked the 
constitutionality of the projxised law. 
Briefly, the Democratic senstors 
wanted the governor's agreement In 
"black and white law." 
The motion to substitute 
The ravRnagh Hill 
lost on roll call vote, 17 to 14. Sen- 
ator Charles A. P. McAree of Haver- 
hill. Democrat, voting '"present." 

A motion to reconsider will come 
up on Friday. 

Meanwhile. Senator ,Iohu S. Sul- 
livan of Worcester moved substitu- 
tion of his bill with an amendment; 
to make the measure constitutional , 
His bill provided a S'j per cent rate. 
This was being fought all over the 
floor of the senate when the body 
decided to adjourn and meet again 
Friday to act on the Sullivan mo- 
tion. 

The debate attracted crowded gal- 
leries and w.Ts practically the only 
business transacted during the day, 
other than the reading !t\. of report*.

Several opposed the placing of

of West Boylston, president of the 
Worcester County Selectmen s as- 
sociation, was adamant in his op^ 
position it it entaile.1 any expense 
to the towns. 



The meeting favored control by 
the County Commissioners hut op- 
posed the expense on the county. 

Arthur D. Weston, chief engineer 
of the State Department of Public 
Health, explained the provision for 
permitting the county commission- 
ers to erect a hydro-electric plant, 
Mr Weston said the provisions 
were similar to those contained in 
the act which created Springhelds 
reservoir, the Wachusett reservoir 
and to the Sudbury reservoir. It 
ig not an unusual provision, he 
said, and is there tor the protec-

MORTGAGE BILL 
I FAILS TO PASS 

Senate, by 17 to 14 Vote, 

Refuses to Set Rate of 
I Interest at 5 P. C. 

UP AGAIN TOMORROW 

Senator Sullivan Offers 

Amendment to Limit 

Charges at 5 1-2 P. C. 



By Telegram .State House Reporter 

BOSTON, March 27.~On a 17 
to U roil call vote the Senate re- 
fused to establish a legal mortgage 
interest of five per cent, and back- 
ers of the measure served notice 
oefore adjournment this afternoon 
that they would move for recon- 
sideration Friday. 

The state budget was read and 
debate put over to Friday. 

The mortgage debate centered on 
23 bills reducing mortgage inter- 
est rates, which were reported 
against Ih; committee. One of the 
bills which sought to fix the rate 
on real estate was amended to 
apply only to dwelling houses. 
Bankers' Argument 
By agreement of bankers, after 
,a conference with Governor Cur- 
ley several weeks ago thelSBTrgSse 
rate on homes not in excess of 
$16,000 and owner-occupied, has 
been fixed at 5V.i per cent. Several 
.senators argued that this agree- 
ment should be given force of law. 
The Senate adjourned while dis- 
cussion was in progres.s on a mo- 
tion of Senator John S. Sullivan of 
Worcester that the Senate adopt 
his bill to establish the intere.>!t 
rate legally chargeable on loans 
secured by first mortgages on own- 
er-occupied real estate. 

The Worcester Senator offered 
amendments providing that the 
rate shall not exceed .'iH per cent 
and that real estate shall he de- 
fined to mean house ^lot occupied 
by more than four families and 
having a valuation not exc»ed'"g 
$20,000. 

During debate on the bills there 
were demands for a ruling on Con- 
stitutionality. 

The committee on highways and 
motor vehicles was authorized to 
visit Leominster. Fitchburg. Pal- 
mer, Webster and Hopkinton in 
connection with bills calling for 
bridge of road construction in 
those places. 

A hill placing the chief, deputy

Radio Station Feaiss Suits 
For Slander 



BOSTON, March 37 (yP) — The 
Boston Herald &&ys Radio Station 
WBZ has refused the use of its fa- 
cilities in the future to Richard D. 
Grant, secretary to Governor Curley, 
for fear the radio corporation might 
be subjected to suits for slander. 

The Herald says the refusal of the 
station to allow Grant to broadcast 
has resulted in a transfer to Station 
WNAC of the regular weekly broad- 
casts from the Governor's office. 

J. A. Holman, manager of the lo- 
cal WBZ station, The Herald con- 
tinues, recently notified Governor 
Curley that his station would be 
pleased to continue its present ar- 
rangement of giving the Governor 15 
minutes of free time each Tuesday 
night at 6.15 o'clock, but that Grant 
no longer would be permitted to sub- 
stitute for Mr. Curley lest the radio' 
corporation h^ .';ubiected to s\iits for 
slander. ; 

Holman, The Herald says, said the 
station had been flooded with pro- 
tests against the character of several j 
of Grant's addresses in which in- ' 
dividuals were subjected to abase and 
vilification without being given ade- 
quate opportunity to defend them- 
selves against the attacks. 

According to The Herald, the Gov- 
ernor reported the incident to WNAC 
officials and that station immediately 
offered him 15 minutes of free time 
each Thursday night beginning at 
6.45 p. m. 

Station WNAC, The Herald says, has 
agreed to extend its broadcasting fa- 
cilltle.s to both the Governor and

Washington. March 2S— Gov Curley 
of Maesachusetts will have to over- 
come the determined o|i{>osition of 
Senator Walsh and fonnei- Gov Ely 
whether he seeks reelection or be- 
comes a candidate for United States 
senator. 

Charles F. Hurley, state treasurer 
of Mas.'fachusetts, has been selected 
as the WaKsh-Bly candicjate to oppose 
Curley either for governor or senator, 
it has be<'n learned. The circumstances 
of the selection indic.itc that Senator 
Marcus A. Coolids'c is not expected to 
be a candidate for another term. 
Offer Hurley Support 

When Treasurer Hurley was here 
recently, he was guest of Senator 
Walsh at a gathering: in a Maryland 
clirb. In vigoi-dus tei-ms Senator 
Walsh made kno\vn to him the belief 
of t'orlner Gov Ely and tlie senator 
that he could defeat Sov Curley 
either for the nomination (ov govern- 
or or for senator. The .senator bluntly ' 
said he would do all in his power to 
retire the govei-nor to private life and I 
especially lo prevent him from g'oing 
to Wa.shinRton as .senator. Senator 
Walsh also said he and Ely were dis- 
appointed tliat I.aeut-(.;ov .Toseph Ij. 
Hurley liad proved a 100 per cent Cur- 
ley Winn. 

Despite any denials which may 'be 
madt", Walsh and K\y have determin- 
ed on w.ir afiainst Ctirley's political 
amhitions and asainsl his many pro- 
jects here. W'alsh has temixirarily, at 
least, blocked the governor's plan to 
hav^ Peter F. Tague named postmas- 
ter at Boston and to maike Maurice 
Tobin collector of internal revenue for 
the state. 

The senator is also expected to op- 
pose a recommendation by the gov- 
ernor to the White House, that 'Sam- 
uel 4 Silveiman. former corporation 
counsel for Boslon when the governor 
was mayor, be made a federal judge 
'at Boston it Congress authorizes one 




or more additional judges here. 

There is much resentment in the 
Massachu.setls congi-essional delega- 
tion over Gov Curley's bill before the 
.\Ia.ssach\iseltR Legislature to provide 
for the appointment by the governor 
ot an "embassiidor" for the Bay State 
here to i-eprescnl its interests. Oi'po- 
nents say this would mean a duplica- 
tion of w:ork now done by memljers 
ot Congres.s and the opening of a Cirr- 
Icy rather than a state bureau here. 

Tliey nn<lerstand tlio appointment 
will go lo a Chicago lawyer, Jeremiah 
■ Fitzgerald, who was born in Boston. 
He now [iraclices law here, has exten- 
Ki\c contacts, and is regarded as an 
unottlcial representative here for the

l> Favor Appeals Board 

Real estate taxpaytrs apparently 
desire to have the state tax appealv 
board continued, for at a hearing 
held last week at Boston on a bill j 
which would abolish the board, a 
single person advocated the pas.^ago 1 
of .the bill, while a large number ' 
voiced opposition. It was signifi- 1 
cant, too, that the single proponent 
was a member of a board of asses- 1 
sors whose valuations placed on real ( 
estate in the town of Saugus had 
been reviewed by the board and re- 
duced considerably. The opponents 
of the measure which would abolish 
the board included individuals and 
representatives of organizations with 
real estate interests. Although Gp.v 
Curley has recommended that thel. 

board be abolished, it seems likely i .2? U jc

that it will continue to function. -3 s", .:'. ^ >■

It appears that the appeals board: 



is performing a necessary dutv. The « £ o 'S S

hoard had not been in existence a! g tj ^ 
great while when real estate values, 
which are supposed to represent an 
amount agreed upon "when minds 
of a willing buyer and a willing 
seller meet," sustained a substantial 
reduction in the market following 
the appearance of the indu.-^trial de- 
pression. Since 1930 there have been ^ "^ « 
very few "willing buyers," while. >•. 
thousands of home owners became' 
forced sellers through necessity,

Local assessors faced with the ne- IS .2 ^ .5 '^ 



ccssity of raising larger amounts 
and, reluctant to increase tax rates, 
•were reluctant also to reduce val- 
ues, although the necessity for re- 
duction was obvious in many locali- 
ties. Clearly, if valuations wore cor- 
rect in 1930 reduction was neces- 
sary, for every child realizes that 
values are less than in tiiat year. 
While numerous boards of assessors 
recognized the situation and revised

One of the earliest reactions to 
the enthusiastic meeting of the

of a proposal from John J, Mans-

"Jack" Mansfield, as ho is affec- 
tionately known to a host of friends

The Grea^t 

Game of 

Politics 

Many Think Roosevelt Has, 

Made a Fool of the 

Country 

By FRANK R. KENT j 

WASHINGTON, March 28. ; 
THE pace of the New Deal, now again 
accelerated by a vast, fresh and un- | 
precerientedly expensive experiment, 
has been too swift to make reflection 
I easy. There have been few even rela- 
tively calm moments since it .started. 
So numerou.s, varied and dazzling have 
ibeen the schemes of which it consists 
(that it Is not surpri-sing the notori-^ 
I ously weak public memory should now' 
be so blurred as to nullify popular 
grasp upon the almost incredible in- 
consistencies and contradictions which 
have been presented. However, there 
still are plenty of people with recol- 
lections sufficiently strong to hold 
the facts. 



TO THEM there will always be. two 
great mysteries of the two-year period. I 
One is why so huge a part of the 
nation enthusiastically folfowed Mr. ' 
Roosevelti in one direction for three 
months and then, just as enthusiasti- 
cally, followed him in the other direc- 
tion, apparently without knowing he 
had turned around. Now, in a hole 
very much deeper than the one out of 
which he promised to pull them, they 
are jus^ beginning to find it out. The 
other mystery is how Mr. Roosevelt 
has been able to so completely reverse 
himself both in words and in deeds 
without being called to account by a 
press and public which at heart is 
as overwhelmingly against 'his present 
1 course as it was overwhclttiingly With 
him in the one he abandoned. 

THERE are adequate or, 'at any rate, 
plausible explanations for both these 
things, but there is no space to present 
th'em here. A good many people arc 
beginning to think that Mr. Roosevelt 
has made a fool of the country. The 
fact that he has been entirely sincere 
about it, and has fooled himself along 
with the rest does not alter the situ- 
ation. There literally is no way to 
reconcile the Roosevelt of today with 
the Roosevelt of 1933 or even 1934. No 
one even tries. Two y,cars ago it was 
Mr Roosevelt who more strongly tlran 
any one else denounced, tlij! practice 
of b6Wving to meet deficits: who de- 
clared the nation nuld not govon un- 
less it balanced it. budget; ijJho as- 
serted that unless a halt was caljed by 



1934, the accumulated deficit would 
be Ave billion, and that would be a 
menace to the stability of the gov- 
ernment and an "insuperable bar to 
recovery." 



THIS was the same Mr, Roosevelt 
who, a day or so ago, gayly sailed 
away on the Astor yacht after secur- 
ing passage of a bill which will make 
the accumulated deficit $14,000,000,000, 
and which he now promises will 
restore p \sperity in a year. If It does 
not, he will have to dig the deficit 
hole deeper still. Two years ago, when 
Mr. Roosevelt cut expenses, reduced 
the number of federal jobholders and 
balanced the budget, his fixed deter- 
mination was to retain that position. 
To that end, he proposed to insist 
that every ayjpropriation, whether for 
the dole, the drought, for public works 
oi- for anything else, must be accom- 
panied by its tax. Every appropria- 
tion had to have its tax. That was the 
basic administration policy, and its 
soundness was not disputed. 

IN fact, in those days it would have 
been exceedingly hard to find an ob- 
server, a publicist or politician, aside 
from the Progressive Republican sena- 
tors, who did not put budget balanc- 
ing and economy as the great national 
need. It seems incredible now, but 
that was the big thought in the orig- 
inal Roosevelt program. Even after 
the brain trust evolved the new deal, 
and the dole policy was adopted, he 
still held to the accompanying tax 
idea. About that policy, his friends 
were most enthusiastic. It did not 
matter how big the appropriation so 
long as the tax went right along. 
Thgit would have the dual effect of 
re-straining Congress from going too 
lar, and always keeping the budget 
balanced. 



FOR SWINGING Mr. Roosevelt In 
the other direction, credit is given] 
jointly to the English economist, John 
Maynard Keynes; the Progressive 
Republican group, particularly Sena- 



ar 



" - — ^ 1 



tors La Follette and NoiTis; Dr. Tug- 
well, earnest apostle of the more 
abundant life, and one of two other 
early ornaments of the brain trust. 
At any rate, swing he did, wide and 
far, until today there is not so much 
as a trace left of the original Roose- 
velt policy. Moreover, there isn't an 
tidvocate of it left in the administra- 
tion. It was when he had completely 
Convinced himself that Mr. Roosevelt 
definitely did not intend to balance 
[he budget that Mr. Douglas resigned, 
Since then the phrase has become al- 
most obsolete. Mr. Roosevelt is now 
surrounded by men who believe defi- 
plts are "blessings in disguise." ^ 

.JHE new head of the federal reserve 
board tells a House committee he has j 
no fear at all of a forty-bilUon-doUai- 
debt, and his journalistic interpreters ] 
snnply say there will be no bother j 
about" balancing the budget once pros- , 
perity returns. He secures from Con- 
gress the greatest sum ever appropri- 
ated, and the subject of taxation is 
not touched upon. There are to be no 
new taxes this year. Taxes have been 
driven from the minds of our states- 
men. About borrowing they talk a 
good deal; about payment not at atl. 
It is not considered good form to. 
mention payment. And it Is consld-- 
sred distinctly unfriendly, in fact, 
'destructive criticism," to recall the 
determination of Mr. Roosevelt .Jn 
1933 to keep on an even keel flnajici- 
illy, to refer to his denunciation of 
,he practice of boiTowing to meet | 
deficits, to mention his solemn con- j 
viction that an accumulated deficit ] 
of five billion would be an insuperable ] 
bar to recovery. One wonders if he 
recalls those words himself. Perhaps 
he thinks he just dreamed them.

Got Cross Hits Gambling 

If Wilbur L. Cross, the "dear old 
'professor" who once seemed to J. 
Henry Eorabacfc so easy to beat in 
politics, had not already made him- 
self one of our notable governors, 
his veto yesterday of the Connecti- 
cut race track gambling bill, and 
its immediate sequel, would gain 
him that rank. Miscalled a "horse 
'racing bill," the measure which 
came to Gov Cross with the strong 
approval of each of the two houses 
of the Connecticut Legislature, was 
in its essence nothing but a bill for 
legalized gambling "with the state 
'as a partner" such as Massachu- 
setts has elected, in a moment of 
popular aberration, to make trial of. 

The significance and value of Gov 
Cross's veto, at once sustained by 
an overwhelming vote of 235 to 16 
in a House of Representatives 
which turned its tail and ran at 
the sound of his voice, are not to 
be appreciated without some un- 
derstanding of the fight that has 
been going on in Connecticut for 
weeks past. The Senate, receiving 
the gambling bill from the House, 
had passed it on to the governor, 
a week ago yesterday, by a vote 
of 2T to 8. 

In spite of th« earnest protests 
of eivie organizations, to which the 
Legislature had turned a deaf ear, 
it seems to have been expected in 
Hartford that the governor would 
permit the bill to become law, 
with or without hi« signature. This 
expectation was strengthened by 
the fact that under the Connecti- 
cut constitution the governor's veto 
is only of moral force and can be 
overridden by a bare majority in 
each of the two houses, all that is 
necessary for the passage of an^ 
bill in the first ^lace. 



/ 



Worse than the prospect that the 
horse racing bill was about to be- 
come law was the expectation that 
it would be quickly followed in its 
easy passage through the Connecti- 
cut Legislature by that twin 
abomination, a dog racing bill— the 
character of which, and the objec- 
tion to it, need little rehearsal to- 
day in Massachusetts. 

A hint that there might be some 
shifting of votes in the Legislature 
if the governor vetoed the horse 
racing bill was contained in the 
cryptic statement of a Hartford 
senator when he originally voted 
for the bilL In the event that the 
bill was returned, the question 
would then be a different one, he 
said, and he would "reserve the 
'right to use my own judgment, as 
'I am doing now." 

But the stage was not thought 
to be set for such a wholesale re- 
versal as was registered in the Con- 
necticut House. Evidently there 
were many representatives who 
quickly used their "own judgment" 
in coming to the conclusion that if 
they overrode the " governor's veto 
he would be supported by an out- 
raged public opinion from which 
they would later hear. 

For at least two years Connecti- 
cut is spared the consequences of a 
"mechanized gambling scheme on a 
'large scale for exploiting all 



'elasses of the people, the jfoor us 
'well as the rich, for the benefit of 
'a few, with the state as a partner." 
The spectacle of the Connecticut 
ilegislatorg running to cover after 
that gearching analysis of the bill 
by the governor should give heart 
to those in this state who are seek- 
ing to undo the unthinking mistake 
made last November in the refer- 
endum on the hors* and dog racing 
bills. 



Gov Curiey's feelmg that a state 
lottery "might" be a good thing 
teay be based on his conviction that 
the people of Massachusetts are 
'being fleeced outrageously by the 
Irish "sweeps." Yet what moral 
)r financial advantage would a 
^home industry in lotteries have 
javer the imported article ? 



' The much sought original paint- 
'ing, "September Morn," by the 
'French artist, Paul Chabis, has at 
'last been located in Paris, in the 
'private collection of Calouste Gul- 
benkian, a naturalized Armenian- 
English oil magnate. One is re- 
minded of Poe's "The Purloined 
Letter."

Bench and Bar 
Golfers Make 
Plans for Year 



{ 



The new plan outlinect by t'reaiueni 
j Ellis calls far the club to operate with 
I a limited membership this year. JSx- 1 
penses will have to be curtailed on that ,' 
I account, but it is the intention of the , 
I pfflcers not to scrimp on the upkeep of i 
' the course,: which lias always been main- ' 
tainecl in first-class condition. The neces- I! 
, sary economies will be made in the oper- ', 
tttion of the restaurant and the club it- J 
sell'. While this curtailed operation may I 
offer some disadvantagea they will be I 
more than offset by the advantage ot play- 
ing on a course free from cong-estlon. 

It is the hope ot the officers to ulti- 
mately own the property on which it has 
long been a tenant. With this in view 
the officers have dealt with the equity 
hoMers and the outstanding bondholders 
and have made delinite proposals to both 
Interests with tliis end In view. It .s 
hoped by the members that these inter- 
ests will clo.se with the club on the pro- 
posals submitted, which were all that the 
club couli afford.

The gruthering clouds of the approach- 
ing golf vvars were very evident on the 
sports horizon today with annouiioement 
or plans tor the coming season ■ by .sev- 
eral golf organizations. The first of 
the.se is from the Bench and Bar flolfln:; 
Poclety, an organizitlon composed ot 
judges and lawyers and with a member- 
ship of 225 golfers. 

The legal men will dig themselves out 
of the musty tomes of the profosi.sion long 
enout'h to compete in the tournatnents 
that they have planned for this .season 
and which include inter-county, inter- 
city and Judges and lawyers team 
matches. Included in each tournament 
wlli be a Kicker's Division for which spe- 
cial prizes will be given. Several special 
trophies will be put in competition this 
year as well. Tho officers tor 1935 are: 
Honorary president, Qoverngr James M. 
Qylgy; president. Judge '"tTfTford D. Gray,

t'nlcorn Club Opens Saturday 

I Word also cornea that the Unicorn 
Country Club in Stoneham will open its 
course tomorrow with ail of the 3 8 holes 
in play. During the off-season alterations 
hav been made in tho club house. Sev- 
eral rooms have !)een repainted and the 
iif'ors rennished. The -same ha , alsoi 
been done In the locker room. The club 
also reports taking in new members and 
regards the forthcoming season with opti- 
mism. 

Welcome news comes from Providence 
that Brown University is to have a golf 
team thi.s year. The Varsity and Fresh- 
man squads iield a meeting with Athletic 
iJirector Frederick Marvel and the teams 
will bo operated on an informal pay-as- 
you-go policy, without llnancial support 
frcm the athletic council. 

Captain Manager Robert Salant of New 
York city has l>oen named as a commit 
tee ot one to arrange the schedule. In- 
cluded on the freshmen team this year 
are some outstanding golfers who may do 
much to put Brown up at the top of the 
heap. Heading the yearling group la 
Bobby Jones — not the redoubtable 
Georgia Bobliy — ot Detroit, Mich., who 
eliminated Francis Ouimet from the Na 
tlonal Amateur at Brookline. Charles B 
Kound, Rhode Island champion and run 
ner-up in the New England amateur, is 
another candidate. Round has a definite 
spot in a track legend that has lieen wide- 
ly read. He it was who, ns a boyhood 
pal ot Bonfire Billy Bonthron. was play- 
ing with the former Princeton ace on 
Sugar Hill, N. H., and climbed a tree 
with Bill, bolh receiving terrific burns 
from a high tension wire, in addition to 
being rendered unconscious by the shock. 
Both recovered and went on to fame in 
competitive sport: Bonthron on the cinder 
paths and hoards Jtnd Hound in golf, 
although in truth Bonthron reached the 
higher plane in the world of sport. 

Another club which regards the forth- 
coming year with optlfnisni is the Home- 
stead Country Club in Danvers. This 
little club ha.s gathered momcntun], if 
anything during the course of the recent 
lean years. Because it had no large ovor- 
liead the dub was able to go ahead V7lth 
Its safe and sane policy with a minimum 
amount of retrenciilng. 

Charies B. Blount Is In ch.nrge of this 
little community club and smiling Jimmy 
Maloney is the professional. The mem- 
bers take an interest in Jimmy because 
lie grew up In the game on the curse, i 
Jim recently returned from Miami where I 
he has been working on the 'Miami: I 
Biltmoro course, with a heavy coat of 
Belmont I"'" «"<' ready to go for the season.

By LeRoy Atkinson 

With the declaration by Charles Con- 
nors, chairman of the Racing Commis- 
sion, that the Massachusetts Racing As- 
sociation lias not already been assured a 
horse U-ack license at East Boston and 
ithat nd^t week's hearings will be level 
and above board, the fight for the eastern 
Massachusetts horse-race plant has been 
smoked out of the star chambers. 

It is Ktgniilcant the announcement of 
the public hearings followed a news- 
paper furore over star-chamber proceed- 
ings ami a campaign of Attnrnpv Conrad 
Crooker, who has been seelflng such pub- 
lic hearings for months. . lit Is under- 
stood Croolter informed the commls- 
Bion he was aware of the many "star 
chamber" rumors floating and hovering 
over the city, reports that placed most 
everybody concerned m the raclnjj sltua^ 
lion in very bad llfc-ht. 

Attorney Crooker sugreested to the rao- 
innjr .snlons that only by public hearings 
would the entire atmosphere he cleared. 
perhaps to the extent of restoring the 
public confldonce. As matters stood 
early this week public sentiment was one 
ol" disgu.st with the enlire racing tangle 
and its ampyrematio atmosphere. 

It was only a few hours after the vlsl- 
tatlon of Crooker that the Racing Com- 
misfiion announced the following schedule 
of public hearings next week:

Meanwhile, getting a Jump on the pub.

resented by Sherburne Katon, vlo« presl- 
, dent, of the corporation, today Issued ft 



statement reiterating the applicants' in- 
I tention to give the State twice as much 
I revenue from a hor.^e track iia required 
t>y law. In the new statement the Nor- 
|Woofl promoters reply to the hints that! 
! the 3 per cent they Intend to rctfin after 
the out-of-pocket costs are paid, will be' 
, In.sutTiclent to operate a big plant. i 

.u J^ Norwood promoters explain thai 
. the Town Board of Appeals of Norwood 
has olTered a temprary permit good for 
one year should race track construction 
Stan prior to the next town meeting 
which will take place on April 19. This 
apparently ellminatoa the anticipated/ 
trouble m Norwood zoning laws. One- 
half the property, according to Eaton'si 
statement, is situated on the Canton Bidel 
ot the Neponset river and there la no' 
zoning law in Canton. : 

Eaton explains that the 1800 acres otl 
Norwood and Canton land have been aa- 
sembled at the cost of about $250,000.1 
Approximately $100,000 hag been spent 
m physical improvements, including the' 
erection of an airplane hangar and air- 
port. About iSO.OOO, says Eaton, has been 
spent in engineering and prelimlnarv de- 
development work, Including preparation 
for the construction of a race track, 
roads leading to the location and drain- 
age. Another $50,n00 has been .spent as 
the statement explain.-. In searcllinE 
titles to over one hundred oarcels at 
property and consolidating the vast ex' 
p;\nse of land into one parcel, two miles 
long and one mile wide. 

The statement continues: "They (Nor- 
wood promotersi have pledged them- 
selves to the State Racing Commission 
^ to_ complete a fine race course. 

•It is common knowledge that $23,00O,- 
000 were wagered at Narragansett track 
'" 'fi« summer of 1934 and that over 
518.000 000 were wagered at Rockinghaju 
Park during the same season 

"Taking $20,000,000 .as an estimate ot 

the amount of money which may be 

wagered annually at a track located at 

■ Norwood, the iMi per cent payable to 

I .Massachusetts under the parl-niutuel bill 

' would amount to $700,000 per year 

"In accordance with the plan ofTerefl 
to the State Racing Commission by thte 
corporation, an additional 3'i per cant- 
or $700,000— would be paid to a local 
bank ^s trustee for the redempUon of 
bonds of the corporation which would 
b<< issued in order to obtain moneys tor 
the construction of a race track. 

"The plant planned by this corporation, 
it is estimated by contractors, will cost 
approximately $1,500,000. The amount of 
land allocated, with Improvements there- 
on, directly for race track usage would 
not exceed $150,000. Therefore the totaJ. 
plan would cost not in excess ot $1,400,. 
000 and this amount, based upon $40,- 
000,000 being wagered in two years would 
be entirely paid in two years through 
the sinking fund created. 

"After tVie bonds had been redeemed, 
or beginning the third season — 1937 — 
this $700,000 per year would ba paid to 
the State in addition to the regular $700,- 

000 per year required un<3er the parl- 
mutuel bill. 

"There has l>een some questio.i as 
to the ability o£ the Itacing ConunlsKlon 
to accept such a voluntary donation, 
but it is believed that the latitude given 

1 tie commission by the pari-mutuel bill 
Is more than sufficient to cover the ability 
of the commission to handle such a 
irf tter." 

"However, shotild it not please the 
Racing Commission to handle this fund. 
It can be deeded over to some special 
fund, such as the Parkman Fund, to be 
used in improviVig the parkways of the 
metropolitan area. Or, conferences be- 
tween the sponsors of this prelect and 
the olTicials of the State can readily de- 
termine the best way to handle this fund. 

"The question has also been raised 
upon the ability of a race track to bper- 
ate on S per cent ot the betting handle. 

"Based on $20,000,000 per year beint; 
wagered, the 3 per cent remaining out 
of the 10 per rent 'take' ot the 'handle' 
wou! 1 amount to $fi00,0«0 -per season. 
Added to t)-' 
frrt*" 



1 . -Ill admissions and concessions. Based 
upon experience at Rockingham and Nar- 
ragnnsett Parks last year, admisaiinis 
and coticessions should amount to ap- 
proximate! v $1,250,000 per season. 

"Added to the $600,000 received from 
3 per cent of the l)etting 'handle' conceu. 
sions, admissions and 'breaks' should 
bring the total track income up to 
$2,000,000 per season, In spile of having 
given an extra $700,000 to the State. 
Allowing $20,000 per day for operating 
expen.ses on a sixty-six-day racing sched- 
ule, this corporation should cn.1oy a net 
Income of approximately $700,000 per sea- 
son. after all expenses are paid and after 
having turned over 3i4 per cent of the 
betting 'handle' to the State and to the 
sinking fund, which during 1985 and 193» 
would be used for retiring the corpora- .

Clark University on the "OfBce of Gov- 
ernor in Modern Democracy," Mr. Ely 
contended Gov. Curley was inconsistent 
In his actions toward public ofiiaials. 

"He has used all the power at his 
command, even to firing two unpaid 
members of the finance commission, in 
order that there may be no further in- 
vestigation of the former city trea- 
isurer," Mr. Ely said, "Yet he would 
plaster the name of Hultman with slime 
over a few bottles of hootch. Neither 
the Dolan nor Hultman charges may 
be true, but why the difference in treat- 
ment?" 

Mr. Ely advocated placing under civil 
.service such key positions as budget 
commis.sioner, purchasing agent, bank- 
ing commissioner, insurance oomnvio 
sioner, industrial accident bpard mem- 
bers and registrar of motor vehicles. 

Of the NRA, he said: "I was the first 
man in the United States to speak 
against it. Whatever justification it had 
in theory has been ruined by the meth- 
ods used." 

Asked during a question period what 
he might offer in place of NRA, he said 
that the principle of collective bargain- 
ing, as exempliried under article 7 A, 
was all right but that the government 
did not have to try to run the whole 
R-orks in carrying it out. 

No pardon racket existed under his 
administration, he declared in answer 
to another question "I can see no jus- 
tification to society in long prison 
terms," he said. 

Mr. Ely painted a dark picture for 
the future of Democracy because of the 
abuse of the party system. He blamed 
i organized minorities for many of the 
I ills of the present state of government. 
[ 'An enlightened public may at some 
j time come to punish those who abuse 
1 it," he added. 

i Harking back to the failures of the 
federal relief program, he said that the 
waste hi the recovery program de- 
moralizes the people. "It is probably 
u.sele.ss to state this truth now," he 
added. "People will not believe It. Only 
time can prove It. 

"Take the processing taxes, for ex- 
ample. Take them on cotton. Our tex- 
tiles. In these taxes, pay better than 30 
per cent, of tlie cost of labor on each 
yard of cotton fabric. The money goes 
back to the planter for what he does 
not raise. It is a gold brick to him. It 
tends to decrease the u.se of cotton, to 
depress wages, to curtail buying jxiwer." 
Mr. Ely clo.sed with an appeal to the 
students to undertake more intelligent 
voting.

Ad Club Urges $100,000 
1 Be Spent to 'Sell State' 



Business Men Join in Urg- 
ing Curley Plan on 
fslative Group 



Headed by the Advertising Club of 
Boston, about 100 persons urged Uie 
legislative committee on ways and 
means today to favor the proposal of 
Gov. Curley that $100,000 be appropri- 
ated and spent to tell the rest of Amer- 
ica of the advantages of Massachusetts 
a.s a vacation state. 

BUSINESS MEN UNITE 

Store owners, hotel men, representa- 
tives of the milk, transportation and 
banking Industry, together with labor, 
chambers of commerce and others were 
recorded in favor of the plan. AUyn 
Mclntyre, president of the Association 
of National Advertisers, and who pre- 
sented the case for the club, urged that 
the fund be administered by Fi-ederic 
W. Cook, secretarj' of state, "and so not 
become a political football." 

The meeting room had to be shifted 
to larger quarters, for the crowd which 



Visitors Favor Food 
Over Historic Spots 

The historic spots of Massachu- 
setts may look g'ood to natives, but 
they rank ninth in importance to 
visitors, according to a chart pre- 
sented today to the legislative com- 
mittee con.sider1ng spending money to 
advertise the state. The chart shows 
this order of choice of Bay Stale as- 
sets by visitors: Natural surround- 
ings, good food, climate, reasonable 
rates, quiet, comfort and rest, mod- 
ern conveniences, courtesy and ser- 
vice and sports. The hhstorlc places ; 
came next. (_ 

attended was larger than had been ex-^ 
pected. Mclntyre was the first speaker 
He .said: If: 

"The sum of $100,000 Is really no'«J 
enough to do this job atsd do It right, 
but it Is a good start in the right di- 
rection. 

"The recreation indiistry Is today 
the second largest industry in the 
state, doing an annual business of 
$200,000,000. An Industry as large as 
that .should be aided by the state, 
and this state has been slow to con- 
sider such a step. In New England, 
New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont 
have already appropriated money for 
that purpose. 

"The amount sought is not large. Ii 
fact, I predict that the increase o 
revenue from the gasoline tax alone wll 
pay for the appropriation. This natior 
Is a nation on wheels. And our Job 1.' 
to get people to come to this state anc 
spend their money." 

OTHER STATES CITED 

He cited the work done by othei 
states, notably Michigan, WL-iconsln, 
California, Florida and Texas, all ol 
which have .spent money to boom their 
own business. -ai 



Mclntyre said: "The Ad Club, after 
study, suggests that the fund— if It is 
passed— be spent by the secrelaiT of 
state's office. This office, we feel, would 
administer the fund most soundly and 
by its very nature is equipiped to handle 
the money wisely." 

Representative Clarence M. Durant 
of Lee said: "I come from the mo.'^.t 
beautiful section of the slate. Our 
largest income is from recretation. We 
in our section have raised small sums 
of money and spent them to get busi- 
ness and we have found that it pays. 
We know it pays Ijecause we checked it. 
I favor lower taxes, and if this bill 
goes through I think we will a have 
more money with which to pay our 
taxes." 

Frank W. Prescott, aJso of the Ad 
Club, and connected with the A. <fc P. 
.stores, put on an example of advertising 
unlike anything the committee had evor 
seen in the Stale House. He used 
charts to show what the money should 
do, how it would be spent, and literally 
swamped the committee with facts. 

"My concern is nation-wide." he said^ 
"and we can tmly be said not to have 
any selffish interest in this matter, B:it 
we have foiind — and our company is 
the largest user of newspaper advertis- 
ing in New England — that advertising 
Ijays. But the committee should reaU/« 
that vacation money is cash money. No 
credit — jiust cash." 

He then started with his charts- 
some 20 of them. Of. the money .spent 
by vacationists, he showed thai 20 
per cent, was s\xnl for transportation, 
20 per cent, for accomodations ihote.'s, 
camps and cottages i. 25 per cent, went 
to retail .stores, 21 poi cent, for food. 8 
per cent, for amusement and the 
balance for souvenirs, confectionery and 
other .small items. 

"More people appreciate Massachu- 
setts prof)erly who do not live in this 
slate than tliose who do live here." he 
explained. "The grass always looks 
greener In the other fellow's yard. The 
sea, the pines, hemlocks, mountains. 
o\ir roads—we haven't theapprcclatlon y 

" "~ r~ 

for those great assets that others have [ — 
who 'ive outside our borders." 

John P. Fitzgerald, former mayor of pS;^ 
Boston, .said: 

"I understand that any concern 
should spend five per cent, of its in- 
come to advertise and tell the world 
if its values and in thus bill, only l-ti 
.if one per cent, i.s .sought of the $200,- 
100.000 income froni vacatimusLs. 

He said the Ad Club should get after 
he railroads and make them reduce 
■ales. Previous .speakers had praised 
he advertising done by the Boston <fc 
vlaine to get business. 

RAPS DOG RACING 
Ex-Mayor Fitzgerald urged that peo- 
le be incited to visit Massachusetts in- 
st<^d of going to s;uropc. where "cur- 
rency changes from day to day.'' He 
f.nld- ill answer to a question, that he 
was opposed to a stale lottery to raise 
the needed money, and took occasion to 
denounce gambling in all forms, and 
added that he would send to "jail every 
fjerson who is connected with dog rac- 
Ing."' 



Charles H. Brown ol Ust^ivmi., uu^u 
of a $30,000 campaign which was car- 
ried on last year to boost Cape business. 
"The results more than justified the ex- 
pen.se," he added. 

Ernest J. Goulston, Boston advertising 
man, agreed, he said, with the principle 
behind the legislation, but told the com- 
mittee that before it acted definitely a 
.siipcific advertising plan .vhould be sub- 
mitted. He said that an advertising 
campaign lasting three years should be 
mapped out and that the amount should 
be substantially higher than the $100,000 
sought. 

Atty. Joseph A. Conday of Hull told 
of the work by Hull to attract visitors 
and said thousand.s and thousands had 
visited Hull and thou.'-auds of others had 
spent the summer there.

It wa.s fortunate for the people of

C urlev i or Governor. Ai??Tiergetic ex- 
ecutive like the former mayor of Bos-

But I believe liis excellency is only

shown he has that far seeing sagacity 
and prescience, that begets construc- 
tive action, and he ,supervi.ses per- 
sonally his public projects, dLsallow- 
I Ing bureaucratic bodies to hamstring 
his activities. 

During his la.st term as mayor of 
Boston, he .stood almost alone amongst

Hi.s oratory is pre-eminently that of

Hultman's Lawyer Merry 
i Over "Pension" 



^'Looks like Moral Turpitude," 
' Attorney's Comment 



! Gov Curlpy's susgcsfion that Eu- 
igene C. Hultman resipn as chairman 
o* the Metropolitan District Commis- 
sipn before ouster proceedings begin 
before the Executive Council next 
Wednesday because evidence against 
him "keeps piling up" was Ijiughcd 
at la.st night by Clarenc" Barnes, 
counsel for Mr Hultman. 

The latest inquiry has to do with 
an ajlegcd application by Mr Hult- 
man for a pension of $1,300 a year 
from the Boston Elevated, n pension 
never received, 

"That looks like moral turpitude, 
doesn't it?" was Mr Barnes' comment 
last night. • 

"It certainly looks as though they \ 
were gelling kind of despcrpte and 
running out of material." he added. 

According to information given 
Gov Curlcy yesterday by Ally Jolni 
r. Fe CT P , r. proseculor for the Gover- 
nor, and John H. Rackus, guberna- 
torial secretary, HuHnian applied for 
B pen,sion from the Boston Elc\'afed 
rn Jan 20. 1,9.11. He had been re- 
ceiving a salary from the Elevated i 
of $4000 a year, according to Mr 
Backus. 

Backus said he bad been unable to 
determine .iust what Hultuian's tiu- 
tics had been wilh the Elevated, but ' 
he knew he had be^ii idcn'.ilied with i 
the engincrrinK department, and un- ! 
dprstood it was in an advisory 
capacity. The Governor was told by 
Backus that Hultman's pension was 
voted, but that on objections by the 
trustees he didn't get the money. 
Backus said the trustees could not 
cie'termine why he was entitled to a 
pension. 

At that time Mr Hultman was Bos- 
toh.Building Commissioner, appointed 
by the then Mayor Curley, and he 
couldn't draw salary and a pension 
from the city at the same time, ac- 
cording to the Governor.

Curley Terms Proposed 
State Levy a "Curse" 



111 



DRILLED m CHWOf 

. BY JAPANESE PASTOR 



:r 



A State lottery might be better 
than a State sales tax if one must 
choose between "the curse of a sal^s 
tax or the crime of a lottery," Gov 
Curley told his Advisory Committee 
yesterday at a luncheon at the Parker 
House where State problems were dis- 
cussed. 

E, A. Filene previously had gone 
on record as opposed to a sales lax, 
and Robc-t J. Watt, representing the 
State Federation of Labor, announced 
that labor opposed such a means of 
raising revenve. 

Mr Filene warned the gathering 
that the strenfTth of Senator Huey 
Long, Fr Coughlin and Dr Townsend 
is not limited to the South and West, 
but is here in Massachusetts. He said 
their ideas are "dangerous." that the. 
ma.sses arc falling for them, and said 
that, unless the Federal Government 
puts its work relief program i'-Xto ef- 
fect ■ immediately, the "ill-advised 
movements will spread." 

Gov Curley subscribed to the senti- 
ments of Mr Filene and expressed his 
attitude concerning '3 State lottery. 
Recently he said that,.a lottery might 
be a better solution of problem than 
some other suggestions. 

Henry F, Long, Commisisoner of 
Corporations and Taxations, was 
somewhat alone as he advocated a 
sales tax. He estimated that a 2 
percent tax would realise about $30.- 
000,000. He said it is impossible to 
put any more taxes on real estate 
and he doubted that an.v more cart 
be placed on business. In his opin- 
ion, the only means left to raise rev- 
cniic is by a sales tax. 

Mr Filene said it inay become 
necessary to increase the income tax, 
in order that those able to pay be 
compelled to furnish the necessary 
funds. 

He said the sales tax is a'« attempt 
to fool the public and warned that 
no additional burden can be placed 
on the masses without gra^'e danger. 

Gov Curley, during his talk, re- 
ferred to Executive Councilor Win- 
field Sch\i5lcr, of East Douglas, one of 
his severe critics. He said a strike is in 
progress at three of the textile mills 
in which Mr Schuster has an interest 
and he had been informed that Mr 
Schuster had refused to sit iji at a 
conference wilh the strikers in an 
efTort to .Trbitrale. 

Gov Ciu'lcy offered to have his 
special committee on textiles, headed 
b.y Lieut Gov Joseph L. Hurley, at- 
tempt to straighten out the difRpulty 
between employers and employes.

ELY ASSAILS OUSTING 
OF "FINMM" MEN 

Says Curley Seeks to Bar 
/ Fraud Inquiry 



\\ 



Special Disntlfh to l6e Globe ' 

WORCESTER, March 28-Ex-Gov| 
Joseph B. Ely, speaking in a sociology ' 
seminary at Clark Lrniversily tonight, 
criticized the practices of Gov James 
M. Curley in removing from public 
ofiice men who are competent, reiter- i 
ated his disbelief in the N. R. A., and 
defended pardons he issued in his 
four year.s in office. 

Describing the present Governor's 
progi-am as inconsistent, the former i 
incumbent said Gov Curley has used 



his power to the extent of firing two 
unpaid members of the Boston 
Finance Commission "in order that 
there may be no further investigation 
of the former city treasurer, although 
such investigation as has already 
taken place indicates the possibility 
of the gravest fraud involving thou- 
sands of taxpayers' dollars." 

He decried the practice of remov- 
ing from office men who were "un- 
doubtedly capable." 

"There are a great many fine men 
in political life," he said, "who .servR 
the people with intelligence and abil- 
ity, and a conscientious regard for 
the natural obligation of public .serv- 
ice. None of these key positions are 
luidor Civil Service. Appointed for 
terms, thev are subject to vicissitudes 
of party Success and the whims of 
partisan-selected official-s. 

"Governors should be big enough, 
wise enough, and independent enough 
to keep a good man on a job re- 
gardless of political afliliation, but 
' that is too much to expect. For good 
administration, these key positions 
which are purely executive should 
be under civil service.' 

Among these he mentioned the 
Banking Department, Budget Com-

CURLEY INTERCEDES 
i TO HELP PAY FINE 

Spfdal nispalth to (he Globe 

FALMOUTH, March 28— Angelo 
Serrano, East Falmouth laborer, had 
a $50 fine to pay, but no money to 
pay it with. So he wrote Gov 
James M. Curlcy, closing with "Only 
yon and God can help me," 

Gov Curley sent the letter in Dist 
Atty William C. Crossley. Mr Cross- 
ley detailed State detective Ernest S. 
Bradford to investigate. Mr Brad- 
ford interviewed Serrano, the Fal- 
mouth welfare authorities, the 
E. R. fij administrator of Falmouth, 
the Falmouth police, a game warden 
arid a probation ofiicer. 

Serrano, it appeared, had been 
fined $50 in Barnstable District Court 
for being an alien in possession of 
firearms. He was granted a month, 
then another month, to pay. The let- 
ter to Gov Curley and subsequent 
investigation produced results. Mr 
Serrano had been receiving $6 a 
v.'cek from the Falmouth Welfare 
Department. Mr Bradford arranged 
that he work on the E. R. A. at $12 
a week. Now he is going to lay aside 
the extra $6 a week toward his fine.

ADVERTISE STATE'S 

VACATION DELIGHTS 

♦ 

Business Men Urge Legislators to 
Appropriate $100,000 



Urging the State of Massachusetts^ 
to appropriate $100,000 for the pur- 
pose of advertising the recreational 
advantages of the Commonwealth, 
about 200 advertising and business 
men appeared before the Joint Ways 
and Means Committee of the Legis- 
lature this morning. 

The appropriation had been urged ' 
by the Governor upon the Legisla- 
ture as a means of bringing new rev- 
enue to tlie Slate, but has not as yet 
received Legislative approval through 
the Ways and Means Committee. 
Allen B. Mclntyre, representing the 
Advertising Club of Boston, told the 
committee that many other States 
have taken such steps with beneficial 
results. He cited advertising appro- 
priations in Michigan of $100,000, in 
Wisconsin of $50,000, Maine $100,000, 
with $250,000 being considered by 
Maine this year; New Hampshire 
-$20,000, with $70,000 under consider- 
ation; Texas, $125,000; Arizona, $25,- 
000, and Vermont, ,$50,000. 
-' "This is a selling job to bring 
people to Massachusetts," Mr Mc- 
lntyre said. "Recreation is the sec- 
ond largest industry of Massachu- 
setts and the proposed advertising 
would relieve unemployment, aid the 
farmers and business men and in- 
crease the revenue from the gasoline 
tax. The new visitors who would 
be brought here might pay for the 
entire $100,000 appropriation. We 
don't want to see this made a politi- 
cal football in any way, and for that 
r'tason recommend that the appro- 
priation be administered by the office 
of the Secretary of State." He con' 
fended that $100,000 was not suffl- 
cicnt, but a step in the right direc- 
tion. 

Figures on Vacationists' Money i 

Representative Clarence N. Durant | 
of Lee favored the appropriation on ' 
the grounds that the revenue to be 
obtained wotild help taxpayers. 

As a member of the Advertising 
Club and the representative of the 
A. & P. Stores, one of the largest ad- 
vertisers in New England. Frank W, 
Prescott asked for favorable action. 
He told the committee that $200,000,- 
000 is spent annually by vacationists 
in Massachusetts, and that the invest- 
ment in recreational property in tho ( 
State amounts to $192,000,000, on \ 
which $6,000,000 in^taxes is paid. ] 



Of ever.y dollar spent by a vaci ■ 
tionist in this State, Mr Prescott said 
20 cents goes to transportation, 20 
cents for accommodations, 25 cents to 
retail stores, 21 cents for food, 8 cents 
for amusement and 6 cents for con- 
fections, souvenirs and miscellaneous 
expenses. In Vermont the advertis- 
ing fund is administered by the Sec- 
retary of State's ofKce, at an admin- 
istration cost of fl percent, lowest of 
any State anprnpriating advertising 
funds, he told the Ways and Means 
Committeemen. 

"Could Well Afford $100,000" 

Ex-Mayor .lohn F. Fitzgerald asked 
that Massachusetts get on her toes 
and go out for business just as is 
being done by Florida, California and 
.other Statts, which are appropriating 
I for advertising purposes co ormg 
money into their domains. 
I The State of Massachusetts spends 
] $60,000,000 to run its affairsii Mr Fitz- 
1 gerald said, and could well afford to 
I appropriate $100,000 for a profitable 
j return, just as .is done by business 
I concerns. . 

I "Business concerns spend 5 percent 
J of their gross for advertising," said 
Mr Fitzgerald, "yet all that is asked 
for the proponents of this legislation 
is one-sixth of 1 percent of what Mas- 
sachusetts spends." 

The speaker was critical of the rail- 
roads of New England, claiming that 
they are not cooperating as do rail- 
roads south of New York, providing 
half-rate fares for trips to conven- 
tion*, fairs, etc, and a one-third re- 
duction in Pullmai\ fares. He 
charged that Pennsylvania Railroad 
dominance caused the condition here. 
Cape Cod's Summer Temperature 

"Let the country know about the 
fact that on Cape Cod the temperature 
is seldom above 80 degrees and that 
thev warmth of the water is 72 de- 
grees and you'll see them coming 
here, especially in view of the de- 
velopment of the airship," Mr Fitz- 
gerald said. 

Taking issue with Fov J^ixrlayi Mr 
Fitzgerald spoke in no uncertain i 
terms about the suggestion of the 
Governor that money could be raised \ 
for public purposes through the me- 
dium of a State lottery. 

"I don't believe in it," he ex' 
claimed, "It is the curse of the coun- 
try, gambling, I wouldn't allow a 
horse track, and as for dog tracks, I'd 
■put anybody in jail who tried to 
start one." Only through honest tpil, 
said Mr Fitzgerald, can the members 
of tho body politic really prosper, 
I . . • 



I Cape Cod Found Advertising Paid 

' Charles H. Brown of Osterville told 
('of the moneyful results of the cam- 
i paign of Capt Cod interests last year, 
j'in whicli lor me expendiiure of $J0,- 
: 000 a country-wide campaign was put . 
on throughout the eastern part of the 
! country. Cape Cod and its beauties, 
its attractiveness as a recreational 
I center, its healthfulness, etc, wa* 
broadcast to the country with results. 
Brown said, which more than justi- 
fied the expenditure, 

Mr Brown enumerated a large 
number of towns on Cape Cod wlierc 
the taxable property is represented 
by holdings devoted to recreationiU 
purposes. Property of this type in 
Barnstable County runs, he said, to 
more than $42,000,000. 

Mr Brown, who for many years has 
been a booster for Cape Cod in re- 
lation to its recreational facilities, 
expressed the opinion that within the 
next 10 years the vacation business 
will be the principal one of the State. 



Definite Plan It Asked For 

Egiest J. Goulston, Boston adver- 
tising man, agreeing wiih the prin- 
ciple of the legislation, felt that 
bcfori; the committee acts upon it a 
definite advertising plan should be 
submitted. Mr Goulston felt that 
an advertising program of three years 
should be mapped out and that con- 
sequently the appropriation made 
j should be substantially higher than 
the amount asked, $100,000. 

Mr Prescott assured the committee 
that the Boston Advertising Club 
would be glad to submit such a pjan 
as Mr Goulston suggested. 

Mr Prescott reminded the commit- 
tee that with the .Summer season not 
far away, any legislation which might 
be drafted by the committee should 
be sent to the Legislature as speedily 
as possible, otherwise it v,-ould not 
be possible for an advertising cam- 
paign to be launched for the present 
year. 

Joseph A. Conway of Hull, in favor 
of the bill, told of the work done by 
the town of Hull in providing recre- 
ational facilities for persons spend- 
ing the rummer there, and of the i"e- 
sults which have been attained. Many 
thousands, he said, have been at- 
tracted to his town. 

John J. Cahill, advertising man of 
Brookline, submitted to the commit- 
tee a p'liin for the handling of Sum- 
mer visitors. 

Eric A. Nelson of Boston, repre- 
senting the Boston Real Estate Own- 
ers' and Tenants' League, in opposi- 
tion, said that Boston cannot afford 
to contribute the $25,000 which would 
be levied on it it the Icgi.slatioK is 
passed. The money, he said, should 
be secured from some other source, 
as "the taxpayers have reached the 
end of their rope."

New Charges Against Hultman Sought 
j By Feeney in Preparing Ouster Case 



N«w charges against Eugene C. Hult- 
man, former Boston police commission- 
er, were being souglit yesterday by John 
P. Feeney, special counsel for Gov. Cur- 
ley, in preparing his case for the ous- 
ter proceedings against Hultman as 
chairman of the metropolitan district 
commission at a hearing before the 
Governor and executive council 
V/ednesday. 

Feeney made two visits to Boston po- 
lice lieadquaters to gatlier evidence to 
be used at the hearing and also engaged 
in a brief conference with the Gov- 
ernor at tne State House, Feeney would 
not discuss the new charges against 
Hultman but said, "We'll give them 
some more if they want them." 

The Governor admitted that Feeney 
had come upon the fact that Hultman, 
while police commissioner, had applied 
for and been voted a pension of $1300 
by the Boston Elevated Company on 
Jan. 20, 1931. It was apparent that this 
angle would be brought into the ouster 
proceedings when the Governor said, 
"It just keeps piling up on, that man."; 
^ Hultman received no part of the pen- 
EJon because objections were raised, af- 
ter the pension had been voted, that he 
was not eligible to receive anything! 
irom the Elevated while employed by 
tne tl' ' OS head of the police depart- 
ment. According to the Governor, Hult- 
man was not eligible to make applica- 
tion for the pension at that time.

HN COM STUDIES I 
DOLAN CASE AGAINj 

I 

To Seek Whereabouts of Books 
Of Brokerage Houses 

At a meeting of the Boston finance 
commission this afternoon, Harold B. 
Simpson of the arborway, Jamaica 
Plain, will be Interrogated as to his 
knowledge of the whereabouts of the 
books of the Legal S,3curitles Corpora- 
tion, and its successor, R. L. Emerson 
& Co., brokerage houses through whidi 
Edmund L. Dolan bought large amounts 
of bonds for the city while serving as 
city treasurer. 

Simpson was treasurer of the Legal 
Securities Corporation, now dissolved, 
through which Dolan purchased more 
than $2,000,000 of bonds for the city, 
and later was treasurer of the Emerson 
Company after it took over the Legal 
Securities Corporation's business. 

George R, Fnrnum, former special 
counsel for the finance commission, re- 
ported to that body that testimony of a 
director of the Emerson Company 
showed that Simpson was the last per- 
son known to have custody of the firm's 
books. The director said Simpson had 
the books a year ago, and tliat at that 
time he warned him- to preserve them 
carefully. 

Last December, Parnum Issued sub- 
poenas for Dolan, Simpson ijnd J. 
Walter Qulnn, president of the Legal 
Securities Corporation, but he was un- 
successful In obtaining the presence of 
any of them, and all three were later 
reported In Florida. Dolan and Quinn 
have recently appeared before tbe com- 
mission and submitted to questioning. 
Both Quinn and Simpson were em- 
ployed by Dolan In his brokerage ofHce 
— the E. L. Dolan Company — before 
becoming connected with the Legal Se- 
curities Corporation. 

Farnum, in his report to the finance 
commission, sal dit seemed clear that 
the Legal Securities Corporation, "both 
as such and under the later name of 
R. L, Emerson & Co,, was nothing hut 
a set-up for Dolan and was controlled 
by him for the purpose, among other 
things, of enabling him to participate 
in the profits from the sale of bonds"

CURLEY OUSTERS 

Governor Inconsistent, He 

Says — Assails Waste in 
I Recovery Program 

(Bt • Herald Staff Cormpmident) 

'WOROESTEai, March 38— Pormar 
Gov. Ely tonight took Oov. Ourlty te 
task lor removing competent public of- 
ficials from office, again called the NRA 
a failure, eaying he -was the first man 
to speak against It, »uggest«d oollectlve 
bargaining free from government super- 
vision ajr a substitute fot the NRA and 
urged suspension of the anti-trust laws. 
Speaking at a sociology seminar at 
Clark University on the "Office of Gov- 
ernor In Modem Democracy," Mr. Ely 
contended Gov. Curley was Inconsistent 
In his actions toward public ofBtiais. 

"He has used all the power at his 
command, even to firing two impaid 
members of the finance commission, in 
order that there may be no further in- 
vestigation of the former city trea- 
surer," Mr. Ely said. "Yet he would 
plaster the name of Hultman with slime 
over a few bottles of hootch. Neither 
the Dolan nor Hultman charges may 
be true, but why the dlSference In treat- 
ment?" 

Mr. Ely advocated placing tmder civil 
service stich key positions as budget 
commissioner, purchasing agent, bejik- 
ing commissioner, insiuanoe commis- 
sioner. Industrial accident board mem- 
bers and registrar of motor vehicles. 

Of the NRA, he said: "1 was the first 
man in the United States to speak 
against it. 'Whatever Justification it had 
in theory has been ruined by the meth- 
ods used." 

Asked during a question period ■what 
he might offer in place of NRA., he said 
that the principle of collective bargain- 
ing, as exemplified under article 7 A, 
wa« all right but that the government 
did not have to try to run the whole 
works in carrying it out. 

No pardon racket existed under his 
administration, he declared In answer 
to another question "I can see no Jus- 
tification to society In long prison 
terms," he said. 

Mr. Ely painted a dark picture for 
the future of Democracy becai.se of the 
abuse of tlie party system. He blamed 
organized minorities for many of the 
ills of the present state of government. 
"An enlightened public may at some 
time come to pvmish those who abuse 
it," he added. 

Harking back to the failures of the 
federal relief program, he said that the 
waste In the recovery program de- 
moralizes the people, "It Is probably 
useless to state this truth now," he 
added. "People ■ndll not believe it. Only 
time can prove it. 

"Take the processing taxes, for ex- 
ample. Take them on cotton. Our tex- 
tiles, In these taxes, pay better than 30 
per cent, of the cost of labor on each 
yard of cotton fabric. Ths money goes 
back to the planter for what he does 
not raLse. It is a gold brick to him. It 
tends to decrease the tise of cotton, to 
depress wages, to cut^all buying p-iTer."' 
Mr. Ely closed with an appeal to the 
students to undertake more intelligent 
voting. He advised the students to in- 
terest themselves In the policies of their 
city, stjite and nation and not to let 
the general disrepute deter them. "At

CURLEY OPPOSES 



I 



SALES TAX plan; 



Thinks State Lottery Might 
Be Better Proposition 

Gov Curley yesterday expres.sed his 
opposition to a sales tax when he told 
members of his "brain trust," at the 
weekly luncheon meeting at tlie Parker 
House, that he believed it would be 
"unwise to embark on a program 
against the unorganized masses," which 
he indicated the sales tax would hit. 

"I question whether a state lottery 
would not be a better way to raise 
money than by a sales tax." declared 
the Governor. "I'm not sure which is 
worse: the cur.'ie of taxation or the 
crime ot .gambling." 

The Governor, iu concluding the dis- 
cussion of a proposed 2 per cent, sales 
tax, said he "shared greatly" the 
opinion of E. A. Filcno, Boston mer- 
chant, a previous speaker wlio vigor- 
ously attacked the tax. Robert J. Watt 
of the State Federation ot Labor also 
opposed the proposal at the luncheon. 

Henrv F. Long, state commLssioner 
of coiporaiion.'s and taxation and a 
leading advocate of a sales tax, pro- 
voked the dtscussion when he addressed 
the gathering on the need for new 
sources of revenue. He said a .sales tax, 
without exemptions, was the best 
method of getting additional revenue. 

During the discu.ssion of the numer- 
ous problems confronting Massachu- 
setts at the piesent time, the Governor 
referred to the strike now in progress 
at the Schuster-Hawyard Mills In 
Douglas. 'Winfleld A. Schuster, member 
ot the executive council and head of 
the mills, often has been at odds with 
the Governor in council .sessions, 

"I am shocked t,o learn ot the strike 
at the Schuster mills," said the Gov- 
ernor. "I have profound respect for 
Mr. Schuster, I hope that what I have 
heard is untrue, that Mr. Schuster has 
refused to participate in conferences to 
settle the question involved." 

The Governor suggested that tlie 
chairman of his textile committee offer 
Schuster the committee's services

Schooner Frozen in Floating Ice Field 
Off Gape Race May Be Gloucester Boat 



ice east of Cape Race. Newfoundland, a 
fishing schooner which coast guardsmen 
believe may be the missing Gloucest.;r 
schooner Arthur D. Story was sighted 
yesterday by the officers of the Nor- 
wegian steamship Leif. 

Spurred on by an appeal from Gov, 
Curloy to the American and Canadian 
go?-eTnments to use all resources at their 
command to And the Story, coast guard 
offlcers at Washington sent orders here 
for a plane to be sent at once to the 
ice field to find the schooner and tak? 
oft her men, if pssible. A cutter was 
ordered to attend the plane. 

Capt. Cecil M. Gabbett, commanding 
the Boston division, learned from the 
steamship Leif that a plane could not 
possibly land near enough to the ice- 
bound schooner to be of assistance, and 
the order for the plane wa.s rescinded 
i from Washington,, -^^ "-"a-^t RU^rd Ice 



and Mendota, which are cruising the ] 
North Atlantic were notified. 

The schooner in the ice was not fly- 
ing a distress signal and seemed to be 
in no danger, although no life was visi- ^ 
ble aboard her, coast guardsmen said 
alter communicating with the Leif. H 
is pos.sible the schooner may be a Cana- 
dian vessel, since- the ice field is far to 
the east of the Story's course. 

ynder the command of Capt. William , 
Nickcrson and with eight men on board, ] 
the Storv sailed from B3rieoram, New- 
foundland, March 3, with a load r.t 
iced herring. Nothing has been heard 
from her since she sailed. 

The Norwegian vessel Spec and the 
American vessel Longbird, last reported 
in the same waters, have been missing, 
for several days. The Leif is bound

ITuTtman 

'ACCUSED 




Flagrant violation of law while 
he wae police commissioner of Bos- 
ton is laid at the door of Eugene 
C. Hultman, chairman of the Met- 
ropolitan District Connmission, in 
new charges that are to be heard 
next Wednesday in rennoval pro- 
ce«dinp.s hefore the governor and 
council. 

According to 
these charges 
Hultman flouted 
the very statute 
under which he 
was appointed 
police commis- 
sioner. Even 
when he accept- 
ed this appoint- 
ment and was 
sworn into of- 
fice he already 
was holding the 
job of engineer 
Eugene C. Hultman of the Boston 
Elevated railway, for which lie was 
being paid $4000 a year, and con- 
tinued to hold it for a time. 

I PROBE LAW VIOLATION 

Whether he also was violating 
the law in retaining hie job as en- 
};ineer while he was building com- 
missioner of the city of Boston and 
later fire commiesioncr is etill be- 
ing investigated by Atty. John P. 
■Ppenev. special prosecutor for Gov. 
Curley in the removal proceeding. 

But, it was stated by those aid- 
ing in the investigation, there ie 
no doubt of the violation of the 
statute while police commissioner. 
Hultman himself admitted that, it 
is pointed out. In a letter to the 
Elevated trustees in which he re- 
linquished the job and sought a 
peneion in place of the salaiy. This 
pension was denied him. 

The acts of 1906, Chapter 291, 
Section 7, gives the governor and 
council authority to appoint the 
police commissioner. This act lays 
down the following stipulation for 
holding office: 

ADMITTED ERROR 

'Such police commiRsIoner Khali 
not engage In any other business 
and shall Ixe sworn to the. faith- 
ful performance of the duties of 
his offi<;e, before entering upon 
the s»nie." 

H\iltman was appointed police 
commisioner on May 7, 1930. He 
did not apply for a pension until 
June 20 of that year and then ad- 
mitted his error In retaining the 
position of engineer in the follow- 
ing letter to Bernard J. Rothwell; 
"Dear Sir:— I find that the 
statute creatinK the police com- . 
missloner for the city of Boston 
forbid his pngagini; In an.v other 
business. Therefore, as on July 
1.1th I shall be 55 years of age

the pension roll. 

"I originally entered the em- 
ploy of the West End Company In 
the engineering department early 
in 1897. Respectfully, 
(Signed) "Kugene C. Hultman." 
The request was trani5mitted to 
the trustees on June 26, but it was 
nearly eight months later before 
they acted upon It. Then they 
turned it down. 

REFUSAL EXPLAINED 

In a letter from Henry I. Harrt- 
man, who succeeded Rothwell as 
chairman of the trustees, under 
date of Feb. 5, 1931, Hultman was 
informed why the pension was re- 
' fused. 

It wa« because he was not "in- 
--.^^t^ji through age, sickness 

(>j other cause to properly carry on 
h.s work." i- 

Elevated record.-? show that Hult- 
man'."? resignation was accepted 10 
days after he submitted it, or on 
June 30, 1930. He wae not an en- 
gineer for the road but was em- 
ployed in that capacity by the 
board of directors. 

Investigators eaid Hultman's own 
words may be used against him in 
connection with the holding of two 
jobs. When he was appointed po- 
lice commiesioner he gave an inter- 
view to the press in which he was 
quoted as sayi.ig, among other 
things: 

"I am taking the position at a 
sacrifice to myself. As 1 under- 
stand it, the law specifically says 
the commissioner car engage in 
the pursuit of no other business. 
As building commissioner It was 
possible for me to continue my 
work as engineer." 

LEGAL QUESTION 



Feenoy is continuing his probe 
further into the legality of holding 
two such jobs as engineer of the 
Blevated, building commissioner or 
file commissioner. Assisting coun- 
sel i.'? delving into the city charter 
and its interpretations to shed light 
on this phase of hie activities, it 
was stated last night. 

The acts of 1909, Chapter 486, tor- 
bid any employe of the city directly, 
or indirectly, to "receive any corn- 
mis.sion, discount, bonus, gift, con- 
tribution or reward from or any 
share in the profits of any person, 
or corporation making or perform- 
ing such contract." 

The section relates to contracts 
with (he city. Whether the contract 
by which the cities and towns 
served by the Elevated agree to 
make up its deficits from opera- 
tion, and therefore help to pay the 
salaries of its officers and em- 
ploye.?, is what is engaging the at- 
tention of Mr. Feenev and his 
assistant.'?. 

A legal question it raises Is 
whether Hultman was technically 
receiving two salaries from the 
city, one directly, the other Indi- 
rectly. 



FILENESEES 
JOBS, WAGES 
( OR FASCIST 

Edward A. Filene. Boston mer- 
chant and economist, speaking in 
opposition to a State sales tax at 
the luncheon of the governor's 
brain trust yesterday, forecast 
that the "dangerous schemes" of 
Huey Long. Fr. Coughlin and Dr. 
Townscnd will .sweep the country 
unless the government acts to re- 
lease the massee from want by pro- 
viding work and wages.

EDWARD A. FILENE 

"All attempts to show that the 
I^ong-Coughlin or Townsend 
plans have this deficiency will 
not stop a sweep to them," ho 
said. 

"The ma.sses of the people 
have suffered and stood all they 
can and will follow these men 
utiless our government s|)eedily 
provides the means to help them 
obtain the necessities of life ill 
tile miilsl of a land of pleiily 

"The foUoivers of Long, Town- 
send and <'i)ughlin would vote 
against J'residetit Koosevelt at 
the next election. Then if a Re- 
puliliian wpTP elected, they'd vote 
against him next time. 

"Having put the two major 
parties out of the running, they 
would them.selves sweep into 
power. 

"The final result would l>o 
Fascism or worse. 

"Don't let us fool ourselves that 
this sentiment e.vists only in the 
West or tlie South. It is right . 
here in Miissnehusetts. 

"We are fiteiug a serious danger 
today and in !:• or IH months If 
the masses are made (oVarry the 
burdens of the government, we're 
in for trouble." 
The sen.sJilion of the Filene 
■speech was followed by another

"I question whether a state 
lottery would not be a better way

"I'm not sure which Is worse:

E. A. FILENC 
SEES PERIL 
/ OF FASCISM 



Says Long-Coughlin- 

Townsend Groups 

May Gain Power 



Unless the ffdcral government pro- 
vides "work and wages" to relieve 
the masses from want, the "Long- 
Coiighlin-Townsend" plans will sweep 
the country and end in "Fas- 
cism or worse," Kdward A. Filene 
warned yesterday at a luncheon meet- 
ing of Governpr. .Curley's advisory 
group at the Parker House. 



SALES TAX OPPOSED 

His WBininj; was sruinrtert aftpr StAto 
Tax Commissioner Henry F. l^onfr hart 
urged support for hl« plan for a. Stat« 
sales tax without exempting the nec»»- 
saries of life. 

Mr. Filene was foinerl by the Gov- 
ernor himself In opposition to a retAll 
sales lax as a means of relieving the 
pressure on real eslate taxation, "t 
question whether a State lottery wouM 
not be a better way to raise money 
than a saels tax," said the Covernor, 
aitiling, "I am not .sure which is worse; 
the ruiae of taxation or the crime of 
gamblinir." 

Complainlnsr the sales fax would bur- 
den the people "lea.^t able to afford it," 
and characleri^finB the .sales Ins. as 
"the woi-st pos.<ibIe of all taxes," Mr. 
Filene appealed for the support of 
President Hoo.scvelfs programme to In- 
crease the buying power of the nuis.fen 
and to see that no one goes without 
food and shelter. Ife insisted that th» 
br.nins of the country should be applied 
to the problem of utilizing the great 
wealtli of the I'nited States to adjust 
economic conditions. 

tteferring to the proposals of Senator 
1-luey l-ong, Father Coughlin and Mr. 
'i'ownsond, Mr. Filene warned: "The 
ma.Bses of the people have suffered and 
stood all they I'ari and will follow these 
men unless our government speedily 
provides the means to help them ob- 
tain the necessaries of life In this land 
of plenty. 

See* Threat of Fa»ciim 

"The followers of Long, Townaend 
and Coughlin would \oic against Presi- 
dent Koosevelt at the next election. 
Then if a Hepublican were elected, 
they'd vole against him the next lime. 
Having put both parties out of the run- 
ning, they would themselves sweep into 
power. The final result would be Fas- 
yorae. 



'Ron't let us fool ourselves that this 
sentiment exists only in the West or 
the South. Tt is right here in Massa- 
chusetts. We are facing a serious dan- 
ger today and In 12 or 18 months, if the 
masses are made to carry the burdens 
of government, we will be in for trouble. 
Governor Curley agreed that "It 
^ would be unwise to embark on a pro- 
I gramme against the unorijauized 
I masses," and announced that he 
I "shared greatly the opinion of Mr. Fi- 
lene." P.epresenting the Massachusetts 
branch of the A. F. of L., .Secretary 
I Kobert J. Walt voiced lii.s vigorous oh- 
1 .iectiona to a sales tax for |la.s.sachu- 
' sells. 

The Governor, calling attention to the 

decision of Secretary Wallace to in- 

I cre:ise the cotton processing lax, said 

that upon the return of President 

lioosevelt from a fishing trip, hn 

planned to go to Washington with Xew 

I Kugland's textile leaders for a confer- 

, ence with the President, seeking meai- 

ures to protect this basic indiistrj-.

EJv Hits Curky on Dolan Issue 
Aid Is Rushed to Mystery Ship 
Governor Hints State Lottery 



Today in Greater Boston 

And Other Toints in New England 



Ely Speaks— Says Curley 
Stopped Dolan Investigation 

What few said about the IDolan 
inquiry, and uncounted persons 
thought, former Governor Ely put 
into blunt words, last night. Gover- 
nor Curley, he charged, suppressed 
the Dolan investigation. 

"He used all his power." Mr. Ely 
said, "even to firing two unpaid 
members of the Boston Finance 
Commission— in order that there 
might be no further investigation 
of the former city treasurer." 

"Ai,d this." added the former Gov- 
ernor, "despite the Indications— in 
the evidence collected — of a possible 
grave fraud involving thousands of 
taxpayers' dollars." 

Then Mr. Ely launched his barbed 
challenge, that was to impale the 
Governor on a dilemma. "Neither 
the Dolan charges, nor those leveled 
against Eugene C. Hultman, may be 
true. 

"But why air the Hultman case to 
the bottom— and not the Dolan 
case?" 

Mr. Ely spoke on the governorship 
as a sociological force, before a Clark 
University seminar. "The Governor." 
he remarked acidly, "ought to be big 
enough to keep a good man on the 
job, regardless of party, But that is 
too much to oxi>ect. 

"Civil service for key positions 
must then be established." 



Mystery Ship— iMp on 

Way to Ice-L«>fke<l Craft 

Wireless operators tensely list- 
ened today for the dots and dashes 
that would bring an eager public 
news of a mysterious ice-locked 
vessel sighted oil Cape Race. 

Hope was high that the ship 
might be the long-missing Glouces- 
ter schooner Arthur D. Story, 
which left Newfoundland March 3 
and has not been heard from since. 
The coast guard cutter Mendota, 
low in fuel after three weeks' ice- 
berg patrol in the north Atlantic, 
was steaming toward the mystery 
ship this afternoon. 

When first sighted yesterday the 

•schooner was enmeshed in a dense 

field of ice. It flew no di.stress .signal, 

lUt nothing could be observed 

kovlng on its deck.s. That was all 

le known facts. 

|So "What will the Mendota find?"

I State Lottery— Curley'e 

Words Cause Speculation 

Is Governor Curley flirting with 
the idea of a Massachusetts State 
lottery? Today, those for a«d against 
government - organized gambling 

were studying this statement from 
Mr. Curley: 

"A State lottei-y might be better 
than a State sales tax — if one mu.st 
choose between the cm-se of a sales 
tax and the crime of a lottery.'' 

Two days previously tlie Governor 
had similarly hinted at a lottery. It 

I ((Jonunuea irom Page 1) 

might, said he cryptically, be a better 
solution of the financial problem 
than "some others." 

He was addressing his advisory 
committee— the so-called Curley 
bi-am trust — at a Parker House 
meeting yesterday, Edward A. Pilene 
had opposed the sales tax. Robert J. 
Watt for the Massachusetts Federa- 
tion of Labor, vigorously agreed. Al- 
most alone, Henry F. Long, commis- 
sioner of corporations and taxation, 
backed the sales tax. Then the Gov- 
ernor arose with hts carefully 
worded hint at a lottery. Presumably 
the brain tru.st will discuss the Idea'

Veto Overriddeii— Curley 

Loses First Test in Honl'P"''*" 

i State House corridors buzzed with 
excitement today. The first Curley 
veto to come back into the House 
had been overridden by a smashing 
vote of 163-15. 

"Curley has lost his power in the 
House," came the whisper. It then 
swelled until it fairly rang through- 
out the State Hou3e. 

Then at its peak a loud denial 
Came frqjn two Curley Democrats. 
Ploor leader Kelley said the Gover- 
nor had not requested that his veto 
|>e sustained. 

Representative Francis E. Ryan, 
Irom Somerville. the city with which 
the bill was dealing with, said, "The 
action is not to be taken as a 
criterion of the Governor's strength 
In the House. It was not a real test." 

Thus it appeared that the over- 
riding of this bill to reimburse de- 
positors in the Somerville School 
Savings Bank was noi the political 
test that it first, seemed. But it 
showed the way politicians are 
thinWng on Peacon Hui.-- 

''Boston Tax— Mayor Asks 
Legislators to Luncli 

Having had a chance to count to 
^10 since yesterday's bla.st by the ; 

Legislative Committee on Municipal — 
Finance, Mayor Mansfield today sur- 
veyed the Boston tax situation and 
reflected that one gains more with 
sugar than with salt. So he invited 
Boston members of the Legislature 
to have lunch with him Monday. ' 

The legislative committee recom- 
mended a $37 tax rate. In other 
years they merely set a limit. Their 
action, according to Mayor Mans- 
field, was unprecedented and liable 
to mean drastic school curtailment 
and wholesale furloughs for city 
employees. He hopes to clear the 
whole thing up at Monday's lunch- 
eon and sell thettV;^n the "limit" 
idea.

EY ASSAILS / 
GOV. CURLEY 

I 11 1 1 

Says Governor Is Using AH 

His Powers To Bar 

Dolan Probe 

WOHOESTER, March 29 {JP).-~ 
Former-Gov. Joseph B. Ely last 
night assailed his successor, Gov. 
Jam«s M. Ourley, in the course of a 
lecture on "The Office of the Gov- 
ernor aa « Sociology Force," before 
ft seminar at Clark University. 

Ely accused Curley of using "aJl 
the power at his command, even to 
firing two unpaid members of the 
Finance Commission in order Ihat 
there may be no further investiga- 
tion of the former City Treasurer," 
Edmund J, Dolan of Boston. 

"Although such investigation as 
has taken place," he said, "indicates 
the possibility of the gravest fraud 
involving thousands of dollars of 
taxpayers' money, he would plaster 
th« nanw of Hultman with slime 
«v«r «, few bottles of hootch. 

"Neither the Dolan or Hijltman 
#urees may be true, but why the 
difference in treatment? Why air 
one to the bottom and not the oth- 
er?" 

The former Governor once again 



assailed the NRA, asserting that 
"wliatever justification it had in 
theory has been ruined by the 
methods used." 

He decried "waste and extrava- 
gance for political ends" in ordinary 
times "to add to them," he said, "as 
a deliberate means of recovery, only 
increases demoralization and in- 
jury." 

He advocated abandonment of 

the processing tax and said that 
to increase the tax on cotton would 
mean "goodby textiles, pleasant 
dreams and good night." 

The former Governor further ad- 
vocated the placing of administra- 
tive heads under civil service so 
that competent men, serving the 
State well, will not be "tossed out 
to oil a political macliine or to pay 
a political debt." He mentioned in 
this category Carl Raymond, budget 
commissioner; George J. Cronin, 
purchasing agent; Merton W. 
Brown, insurance commissioner, 
and Prank E. Lyman, associate 
Public Works commissioner, all 
State officials. 

At a question period following, he 
defended his efforts to remove 
Prank A. Brooks from the State Pa- 
role Board, taking the staaid that 
Mr. Brooks was "too hard" In his 
recommen<iations for lenleosy »nd 
pardons and "lacked ability to <Us- 
tlnguish between men."

DEPRESSION PROOF — The 

Beverly Savings bank, of which 
Artliiir A. Forness haa been re- 
elected president for the tenth 
consecutive term, is a splendid ex- 
ample of a depression proof bank- 
ing organization. 

■When "prosperity" was at its 
peak in 1929 the resources of the 
bank were $7,972,962, while today, 
after six years of depression, the 
resources stand at the inspiring to- 
tal of $10,395,705, an Increase of 
$2,422,744. In the six year period 
the surplus has increased $200,650, 
from $625,721 to $826,374. News- 
paper advertising was an important 
factor in establishing this record. 

Congratulations to President 
Pomess and his fellow officers who, 
seciure in the confidence of the de- 
positors, have made possible this 
splendid showing. 

L.— R.— H. 

LODGE HONORED ~ Repre- 
sentative Henry Cabot Ijodge, Jr., 
was honored at the annual meeting 
of the Beverly Savings bank by 
election as a member of the corpor- 
ation. The Beverly legislator now 
has an interest in a bank associa- 
tion with more than $10,000,000 re- 
sources and 15,200 depositors. 

CRYSTAL GAZING— Hope therfe 
was— now blasted— that light might 
fall this week on a problem of logic 
hitherto shrouded in Cimmerian 
darkness. Gover nor Cur ley had said 
in his innugurlU aflar^'ss, at page 43, 
"Believing that the right of the in- 
dividual citizen is paramount to the 
right of any political party, I 
respectfully recommend the enact- 
ment of legislation providing for the 
repeal of the Pre-Priniary Conven- 
tion Act." And then, passing 
briskly to another legal subject, he 
had said on page 44: "There is gen- 
eral agreement that legislation which 
has weakened the principle of party 
government and party responsibility 
has not improved the conduct of 
governmental afiairs nor the qua!- I 
lly of public service." 

Of course, to the ordinary mind, 
these two statements appear ct)n- 
tradictory, each excluding the 
other. But some of the Common- 
wealth's most brilliant minds, in- 
cluding the State's champion 
crossword puzzlers, nave kept the 
faith. They have insisted that some 
oracular reconcilement must be 
possible. They hoped and believed 
that Monday's hearing on the pre- 
primary convention hill might sup- 
ply some key at least to the outer 
door of the labyrinth, even if the 
inquirer could not penetrate to the 
heart of the maze. But no guide 
spoke No lamp was lit. Now, only 
one course remains. Tlie Rockf-- 
feller Fotmdatlon should endow and 
equip an "xpedition Into Egypt to 
ask the Sphinx.

^LY Attacks N. R. A. 
As 'Jn- American Plan 

(Continued fromPafre 0SBfr^ 



tion method of choasing candidates 
—but the politicians run it either 
way. The lone wolf, the virile rous- 
er of animosities, finds the primary 
made to his advantage. The aver- 
age run of political manipulators 
are conservative in their back par- 
lors and would avoid radical ideas 
if they could. If the convention is 
with them, they are with the con- 
vention, but if the convention is 
against them, then they are against 
the bosses and with their dear peo- 
ple. The politician has plenty of 
gall. 



Evolution of Politician 

"But let's pursue the evolution of 
a politician. The few who, from 
the first deliberate attempt or from 
a later acquired desire, are success- 
ful in the quest for office soon begin 
to like the sense of power which 
comes with the ofice. Whence 
comes this power? To the man of 
practical mind it comes from the 
ability which the office furnishes 
of doing favors, either business or 
political, helping a friend or one 
who can control votes to obtain a 
political nosition or to get some fav- 
or from the government. The high- 
er the office the greater the power. 
The mayor of a great city control- 
ling the expenditures of millions of 
dollars without much, if any, check 
upon his actions is in a position to 
help his friends in a thousand ways. 
He asually does help them. Political 
power is built upon just such favors. 
Sometimes the favor is an act of 
omission. Often an act of commis- 
sion. 



Vote Seeking 

"The mere fact of public spending 
is not the only evil, nor is the power 
perpetuated solely by reason of it. 
The practical politician seeks votes 
where he can find them, ftis 
precious control of government, his 
living, his position in the commun- 
ity are dependent on this inside con- 
trol. Ho must not lose an election, i 
His first question i.s--what do the ' 
people want? Where is the mass 
vote? The labor vote. He must 
please that vote. The practical man 
never opposes anything the so-called i 
leaders of labor advocate, no mat- ' 
ter what the cost to the people may 
bo. The veteran.^— a big vote. They 
must bo satisfied. All sentimental 
appeals must be met. They are met 
—not on their economic results, but ' 
on sentiment. Again the result is 
increased taxes, increa.sed cost of 
business and living, lowered profits, 
reduced wages and another step to- 
ward industrial depression. 

"Prom my observations these are 
the reasons why nearly every gov- 
ernmental unit in the United States, 
with the exception of the Federal 
government and the state of Ma.ssa- 
chusctts, and a very few others, are 
utterly unable to take care of their 
people in these days of unemploy- 
ment. The great cities were milked 
dry by a rotten Dolitical system 
Detroit found itself with a total in- 
debtedness of 250 million while Mas- 
sachusetts' direct debt for the whole 
state government was only about 10 
million. 



Well Governed State 

"The greatest boon to the poli- 
tician, if he uses it to that end, Is 
an elaborate system of spending, and 
the unscrupulous man does not hesi- 
tate to use it that way. The man 
on the inside knows whore public 
improvements are going, the insid- 
ers know where to buy and having 
bought, they also know how to sell 
and the profits fall into their laps 
without ri^k and then easy profits 
line the pockets of the politicians to, 
help perpetuate the power and con- ' 
trol of governments. It is this line 
of easy profit that calls forth the 
5trenuou.s effort of many men to be 
on the inside, always with a winner. 
It is their life, their livelihood. 

"This urge is not in the interest 
of good government. It is the seed 
of extravagance and waste and cor- 
ruption. Hidden far away from the

Spending 

"Massachusetts has been a well 
governed state, so far as its finances 
are concerned, and consequently, is 
ma better position today than any 
other in the union to come to the 
assistance of its citizens in this hour 
of need. In fact, it is one of a very 
tew states in a position, if necessity 
required it, capable of financing all 
it.s own needs and the requirements 
ot its citizens. No other state has 
given an equal amount of financial 
co-operation in the President's 
plans for relief. No other .state has. 
carried its share of responsibility in 
the public works programme as' has 
this .state of ours. It has done this 
quietly and without the fanfare of 
trumpets, publicity or oratory. Not 
only have we done this as a gov- 
ernment but our people have paid in 
taxes to the Federal government to 
support^other communities way be- 
yond the lx;nefits returned to us. 

"The politician is apt to be fickle. 
He can change his allegiance over- 
night—yes, during the night, from 
bitter denunciation to glowing 
praise. He seldom gets out of the 
parade when it counter-marches. 
Hi.s leadership often consists in step- 
ping out in front of the captain a 
mile or so along the line of march, 
just as soon as he is sure which way 
the parade l.s going. 



Inconsistency 

"Let me give you a glowing ex- 
ample of political inconsistency. The 
present governor has u.scd all the 
power at his' Jcmmand even to fir- 
ing two unpaid members of the Fi- 
nance Cninmi.ssion in order that 
there may be no further investiga- 
tion of the former city treasurer, al- 
though such investigation as ha.s al- 
ready taken place indicates the pos- 
sibility of the gravest fraud in- 
volving thousands of taxpavers' dol- 



lars. Yet he would plaster the name 
of Hultman with slime over a few 
bottles of hootch. Neither the Dol- 
an or Hultman charges may be true 
but why the difference in treat- 
ment? Why air one to the bottom 
and not the other? 

"There is a aatanio humor in the 
spectacle of some politicians assail- 
ing the bankers, not because they 
should be free from attack, and not 
because their methods of busines.s 
did not need to be remodeled, but 
because these politicians, of all per- 
sons, should have a sort of kinship 
of feeling for their erring brethren. 
There should have been a sort of 
honor between them. Now, le.st my 
apparently bitter attack be misun- 
derstood, let me hasten on to fur- 
ther analysis of t|ie life and growth 
of the politician. 

"We carried him from his enthusi- 
astic and child-like beginning up. 
through his years of profitless ser- 
vice to the point where, as one in a, 
thousand, he has risen to a position 
of trust and responsibility. As I 
have said, he has now become the 
holder of a place of accredited dig- 
nity by election or appointment. 
There is another possibility. He may 
decJae to become a big boss, not an 
office holder by election or appoint- 
ment, but a manipulator of men, 
policies and plums. Massachusetts 
lias been creditably free from this 
class. The few that we have had 
must be looked upon as citizens who, | 
for the most part, did not injure the j 
government. 

"It is a peculiar result, because, ' 
generally speaking, the boss type is 
an expen,sive luxury in government. 
Again we must eulogize Ma.ssachu- 
setts. . Political organizations as 
known to other states have never 
flourished here. Our people arc too 
independent. The suspicious make- 
up of the early .settlers against po- 
litical tyrants and the experience of 
those coming later, especially the 
Irish, has been handed down from 
generation to generation. As a mat- 
ter of fact, there have been times 
when I thought that a strong-armed 
boss would be a good thing— at least 
hi the Democratic rank.s where, 
in the past, everyone lias assumed 
leadership to the point where there 
was no one to follow. Be that as It 
may, I do not believe that the cre- 
ation of a strong-armed political 
machine can be perpetuated here by 
anybody— not even the present gov- 
ernor. 



Why the Firing? 

"Now just one thing about poli- 
ticians in general. There are a 

/ 



CoNl iiN V-

•^v^^ 






reat many fine men and women in 
.he political life of this state— those 
who serve the people with intelli- 
gence and ability, and a conscienti- 
ous regard for the natural obligation 
of public service. None of these 
key positions are under civil service. 
Appointed for terms, they are sub- 
ject to the vicissitudes of parly suc- 
cess and tho whims cf oartisan clec t- 
efi officials. The clerks, bookkeep- 
ers, stenographers, and all tho.s'^ 
who perform routine work are pro- 
tected by civil service, but the man 
who gives direction to their work 
and guides the cour.tic of his particu- 
lar .job is a political henchman. 

"Governors sliould be big enougn. 
and wise enoigli, and independent 
enough to keep a good man on the 
.job regardless of political affiliation, 
but that is too much to expect. For 
good administration, the.se key posi- 
tions which are purely e,'{ccuti\-e 
should also be under civil service. 
For example: take Guy, in the bank- 
ing department; Carl Raymond, as 
i budget commissioner; Cronin. as 
j purchasing agent; Brown, as insur- 
I ance commissioner; Lyman, in pub- 
i lie works; Parks, on the industrial 
I accident board; Ryan, as registrar 
of motor vehicles — ail competent 
men, serving the state well. Why 
change them? Should they be 
tossed out to oil a political machine 
or to pay a political debt? 



"Now for a few present day and 
toncrc;t« observations. While we are 
•eforming everything else we had 
letter give a little a,ttention to re- 
orming our politics. The bankers 
lave made a lot of trouble for us, 
10 doubt, but only slightly less than 
mr politicians. The wa.ste and ex- 
ravaganco of polities and the coo- 
ng dove praclices for votes have 
learly demoralized governments, 

"The waste and extravagance for 
lolitlcal ends in ordinary times ar-? 
■ad enough — but to add to them de- 
iberately as a means of recovery, 
mly increases the demoralization 
,nd injury. It is probably useless 
o state- this truth now. People will 
lot believe it. Only time can prove 
t to them. At present, such ideas 
irand you as a tory. as subservient 
.0 those of special privilege. Such 
m assertion gets you called names. 



Party Idea 

"These factor.s point out the cost 
of maintaining our political .system. 
Washington, in his farewell address, 
pointed out the reasons against the 
establishment of party government. 
He was against the party system. 
In this one re.specl the caution has 
not been followed. It never will be 
followed. The party Idea is loo 
powerfully entrenched. But an en- 
lightened public may come in time 
to chastise those who abuse it. It j 
may after a while come to take the , 
fatuous promises of self-seekers less 
seriously. It may come to hold in ' 
better opinion the man who, for 
sound economic reasons, sometimes 
stands up against organized minori- 
ties. This must happen. Otherwise 
dcmocraey is doomed. 

"Speaking of organized minorities, 
these arc by no means confined to 
lalior or soldiers, and at least their 
objective Is humanitarian. Special 
interest — "the malefactors of great 
ivealth,"— single industries — the men 
seeking special favors— they also are 
jveU organized minorities. They, 
ikewise,,may be equally dangerous 
ind more insidiously perversive of 
;ood government. When you con- 
■idcr them all, these organized blocs 
)f every description, no one of them 
ilone L"! the people when men arc 
rhosen to represent. 



raxes 

"Take one example. Take the 
iroce&sing taxes. Take them, on 
•otton. Our textiles pay, in these 
axes, better than 30 per cent of the 
:ost of labor on each .yard of cotton 
'abric. The money goes to th^ 
Planter for what he does not raise. 
;t is a gold brick to him. Why? 
Because it tends to decrease the uso 
>f cotton, to depress wages, to cur- 
all buying power and as it in- 
jreases the price of raw cotton to 
yiminate foreign markets and in- 
Wase foreign production. Tlie pro- 
cessing taxes divided between tex- 
tile workers, the consumer, and the 
*nanufacturcr would be tremend- 
pusly helpful. These taxes should 
tie abandoned. Compronii.se would 
Indicate their reduction, but the ad- 
jninistration wishes to Increase 
hem. If they do— goodbye textiles, 
ileasant dreams and good-night. 
t "You know what I think of tiic 
\J'. R. A. I was the first man in 
Ihe United States, way back in Sep- 
tember, 1933, to speak against it. ll 
li still bad. Whatever justification 
. had in theory has been ruined by 
he methods u.sed. 
! "This was to be an era of good 
; Joling. That represents the Presi- 
; ent's nature. But good feeling can- 
■ t)t be engendered solely from the 
^ jlsh. Progress, featuring content- 
tent alone, can produce it, and 
idging by the abusive of the Sena- 
jr, the Priest, and the General, it 
btild not appear that we have yet 
:taincd either progress, content - 
ent or the era of good feeling. If 
lu need another example, just lis- 
11 how sweetly the birdies sing on

''You arc students seeking the

be "unwise to embark on a pro- 
gram against the tinorganized mass- 
es" ■which he said would lie hit by 
a sales tax.

CURLEY TRIES 
TO HALT PROBE, 
ELY DECLARES 

Gravest Fraud Indicated in 

Investigation of Former 

Boston Treasurer's 

Office, He Says. 

WORCESTER. .March 29 _ (.\P) 
Former-Gov. Joseph B. Ely last night 
assailed his succe.ssor. Gov. James M. 
Curley. in the course of a lecture on 
"The Office of the Governor as a So- 
ciology Force," before a eemlnar at 
Clark University. 

Ely accused Curley of using "all the 
power at his command, even to firing 
(■ two unpaid members of the Finance 
Commission in order that there may 
be no further investigation of the for- 
mer city treasurer," Edrntjnd J. Dolan 
of Boston. 

"Although such investigation as has 
taken place." he said, "indicates the 
po.-sibility of the gravest fraud Involv- 
Ing thousands of dollars of taxpayers' 
money, he would plaster the nnm'e of 
Hulfman with slime over a few bottles 
of hootch, 

"Neither the Dolan or llultman 
charg-e.s may he true, hut whv the 
difference in ireatment?- \\h\- air one 
IP the bottom and not the other?" 

The former Governor once again aa- 
Mlled the NR.A. asserting that "what- 
ever ju.stiflcation it had in thcorv had 
been ruined hy the methods u.sed " 

He decried "waste and extravagance 

for political ends" )« ordinarv times 

to add to them." he said, "as a delib- 

erate means of recovery, only increases 

demoralization and ln.hiry." 

He advocated abandonment of the 
processing tax and said that to in- 
crease the tax on cotton would mean 
goodby textiles, pleasant dreams and 
good night." 

The former Governor further advo- 
cated the placing of adminiscraiive 
heads under civil service so that com- 
petent men, serving the State we'l, will 
not be "tcssed out to oil a political 
machine or to pay a political debt" 
He mentioned in this category Carl 
Raymond. budget commissioner; 
ueorge J. Cronin, purchasing agent- 
Merton W. Brown, insurance commisl 
sioner, and Frank E. Lyman, associ- 
ate public works . commissioner, all 
state officla's, ' '

Meeting Protests Secretary-

Tobacco Acrease. 



HATFIELD. M-arch 28— A mass 
meeting; of more than 200 tobacco 
i^'''"<='"S went on record last night in 
Memorial Town Hall unanimously in 
favor of the existing tobacco curtail- 
ment profTi-am as It has been carried 
out under the AAA during the past 
year. The meeting indorsed President 
Koosevell and the secretary of agri- 
culture fo> the effort the present ad- 
ministration has made in behalf of 
the fanners, and f.ivored sending a 
petition to Washington before April 1 
denouncing the proposed program for 
increased acreage aa harmful to the 1

Secretary Roiiert J. Watt of the

attacked such people as Dr. Townsenrt,

ruin the Democratic party and re- 
covery plans. 

CJov. Curley concluded the argument 
by saying that he "shared greatlv the 
opinion of M)-. Filene" and that it

Ely Hits Removal 

Of Men by Curley 



I 



Says Governors Should Be Big Enough to Keep 
Competent Men on Job — Voices Dissatisfaction 
With NRA and Defends His Pardoning of 
Prisoners 



Criticism of Governor Curley 's 
pmctice of removing competent men 
from office, dissatisfaction witli the 
NRA, and defense of his own ideas in 
pardoning prisoners, were Jll con- 
tained in a talk given by former Gov. 
Josenli B. Ely at a KocloI?F^y seminar 
at Clark University last night. 

"Governors .should b» big e*iough, 
and wise enough, and Independent 
rnough to keep good man on the .iob 
regaidless of political afCiliation," the 
former state executive said. The 
fickleness which he claims Governor , 
Curley disolayed in attempting to. halt ; f 
further investiT?tion of Edmund 
Dolan, fcrmer city treasurer of Bos- 
ton, and in removing Hultman from 
the office of police commissioner were 
also ."^corcd by the speaker. 

Civil .service vms advocated for the 
heads of administrative departments j 
' in this state by the former governor. 
The nractlce of removing competent 
men "to oil a political machine or pay 1 
a political debt" was d"crled. Among \ 
the unfair removals of Governor Cur- . 
ley, former Governor Ely included i 
former Bank Commls.sioner Arthur 
Guy, Budget Commissioner Carl Ray- 
mond. Purchasing Agent George J. ] 
Cronln, Insurance Commi.s.'^loner Mer- | 
ton W. Bro\vn and former Registrar | 
of Motor yehicles Morgan T. Ryan. 
Reiterating his objections to the 
NRA. Mr. Ely said that whatever .ius-. 
tiflcation it mav h^ve had in theory 
has been ruined bv the methods used 
to cam? it out. "It is .still bad," he 
said. The processing tax should bC: 
abandoned, he asserted. Susoensfon 
of the anti-trust laws was another 
point advocated by the fon;ner gov- 
ernor. 

Speaking of organized minorities, 
former Governor Ely .':a!d that these 
are be no means confined to labor or 
soldier,^. "Speclpl interest — 'the male- 
factors of great wealth,'— single in- 
dustries—the men seeking special fa- 
vor.s— they also are well-organized 
minorities/' he said. "They, likewise, 
may be equwlly dangerous end more 
Insidiouslv per^'crsive of good govern- 
ment. When you con.slder them all, 
these organized blots of every descrin- 
tlon, no one of them alone is the 
people whom men are chosen to rep- 
resent." 

During a question neriod which 
followed his lecture, former Gov. Ely 
wa.s a.skod why he attempted to re- 
move Prank A, Brooks from the narnlc 
board. He said that Mr. Pron'^.s 
"lacked the ability to distinguish be-^ 
tween .men " ■ . . • « 



RenortB that he- was engaged in a 
"pardon racket" while in office, the 
speaker branded as "unquallfiedh' 
fal.se." He further stated that he did 
not believe long prison .<-enterirce?>- to 
be of any oarticu'ar benefit to .-society 
"I never knew wlio the }!ivrypr.t were 
in the cases brought before me," he 
, ,docl->rrd. ■* 

M As':cd what he- thought of the 
' l^ord feud between Senator Huev 
■jMn?.. Father Coii^hlin and Gen. Htiah 
' ^ohn^on, Mr Kl" .said he b-lieved^it 
fini'fii fo u~f^.T ^ti +T^^~-, ni"". r^np- 



daily where there is a difference of 
opinion betwftn speaker and listener.. 
"I believe in the principle of col- 
lective bargaining," he said at a later 
j -loint in the question period. I be- 
lieve the best interests of the coun- 
Iry were .served by permitting indus- 
try to bargain in prices. Yet all this 
might have been done without bu- 

trying to run the whole show. 

When asked if this country Is head- 
ing away from democracy, former 
Gov. Ely replied, "I should be afraid 
.so. If the government started in to 
regulate, thcro. rcglly Is no stopping 
place. I do not believe in the NRA 
as a permanent mea.sure." 

The speaker was Introduced by Dr. 
Louis Bal.'^am, assistant profes.soT of 
cclology, who is directing the sem- 
nav;-.

BOSTON, March 29 (INS)— 
Officers in the New England

CyRLEl'S JCTS 

I 

Says Boston Finance Com- 
mission Members Were 
Ousted to Block Investi- 
gation of Former Hub 
Official 



TELLS HOW POLITICIANS 
GAIN POWER AND FAVOR 

Governor Cujrley was the subject I 
of a slashing attack by his prede- 
cessor, former Gov. Joseph B. Ely, 
■who lectured on "The Office of the 
Governor as a Sociological Force," 
at Clark university, last night. 

Removal of two Boston finance 
commission members by Governor 
Curlcy was only a means of block- 
ini; further investigation of Kd- 
mund Dolan. former Boston city 
treasurer, said the ex-governor, 
who charged Governor Curley is 
using all his power to halt the in- 
quiry, even though the current 
progress of the investigation "m- ; 
dicates the possibility of the 
gravest fraud, involving thousands 
of taxpayers' dollars." 

Ex-Governor Ely spoke at length 
on the methods by which politicians 
obtain power through granting fa- 
vors, through changing their posi- 
tion frequently to "march with the 
parade, even when it counter- 
marches," and through catering to 
labor, veterans and other groups 
of vxjters. 

Denounces NBA Methods 

He vigorously denounced the 
NKA, saying whatever justiftcation 
it had in theory has been ruined by 
Its methods. He declared himself 
in favor of abandoning the process- 
ing tax and said if the .'dministra- 
tion increases the cotton tax it 
means "Good-bye textiles, pleasant 
dreams and good night." 

After urging heads of adminis- 
trative departments in the state be 
placed on civil service, he assailed 
the alleged "toesing out of compe- 
tent men to oil a political machine 



or pay a political debi. As victims " 
of such "tossing" he cited former 
Bank Commissioner Arthur Guy, 
Budget Commissioner Car! Ra3P- 
mond, Purchasing Agent George J. 
Cronln, Insurance Commissioner 
Merton W. Brown and former Reg- 
istrar of Motor Vehicles Morgan T. 
Ryan. 

Discussing charges that a par- 
don racket" flourished while he was 
in office and that lawyers dictated 
pardons he said these charges were 
unqualifiedly false. Asked why he 
attacked the Norfolk prison colony, 
he replied he "got after the man 
who ran it." 
"This man," he said, "had a one- 
'• track mind with a lot of ideas, but 
he was limited in a practical way. 
He was a splendid man if you let 
some one else administer the 
prison." 

Trouble by Politicians 
Summarizing a lengthy discus- 
Blon of the evils of the political sys- 
tem in this state and country, he 
said: "Now for a few present-day 
and concrete observations. While 
we are reforming everything else 
we had better give a little attention 
to reforming our politics. The 
bankers have made a lot of trouble 
for us, no doubt, but only slightly 
less than our politicians. The waste 
and extravagance of politics and 
the cooing dove practices for votes 
have almost demoralized govern- 
ments. 

"The ■waste and extravagance for 
political ende in ordinary times are 
bad enough, but to add to them de- 
liberately as a means of recovery 
only increases the demoralization 
and Injury. It is probably useless 
to state this truth now. People will 
not believe it. Only time can prove 
it to them. At present such ideas 
brand you as a tory, as subservient 
to those of special privilege. Such 
an assertion get.-? you called names. 
"Thtff was to be an era of good 
feeling. That represents the Presi- 
dent's nature. But good feeling can- 
not be engendered solely from the 
wish. Progress, featuring content- 
ment alone, can produce it and, 
judging bjr the abuses of the sen- 
ator, the priest and the general, it 
would not appear that we have yet 
attained cither progress, content- 
ment or the era of good feeling. \ 
If you need another example just 1 
listen how sweetly the birdies sing 
on Beacon Hill." 

Louis Balsam, assistant professor 
"n sociology, introduced the former 
^vernor. | 



MM 






satisfied. All sentinnaental appeals 
must be met. They are met— not 
on their economic results, but on 
sentiment. Again the result is in- 
creased taxes, increased cost of 
business and living-, lowered profits, 
reduced wages and another step 
toward industrial depression. 

"There is a Satanic humor in the 
spectacle of some politicians as- 
sailing the banlters, not because 
they should be free from attack, 
and not because their methods of 
business did not need to be re- 
modeled, but because these politi- 
cians, of all persons, should have 
a sort of kindahip of feeling for 
their erring brethren. There should 
have been a sort of honor between 
them. Now, lest my apparently 
bitter attack be misunderstood, let 
me hasten on further to analysis 
of the life and growth of the poli- 
tician. 

Maiiipulator of Men 

"We carried him from his en- 
thusiastic and childlike beginning 
up through his years of profitless 
service to the point where, as one 
in a thousand, he has risen to a 
position of trust and responsibility. 
As I have said, he has now be- 
come- the holder of a place of ac- 
credited dignity by election or aip- 
pointment. There ig another pos- 
sibility. He may decide to become 
a big boss, not an office holder by 
'election or appointment, but a 
manipulator of men, policies and 
plums. Massachusetts has been 
creditably free from this class. The 
few tha-t we have had must be 
looked upon as citizens who, for 
the most part, did not injure the 
government. 

"It is a peculiar result, because, 
generally speaking, the bos.s type is 
an expen.sive luxury in government. 
He must eulogize Massachusetts. 
Political organizations as known to 
other states have never flourished 
here. Our people are too independ- 
ent. The suspicious make-up of 
the early settlers against political 
tyrants and the experience of tho.ie 
coming ■lai;cr, especially the Xri.sh, 
has been handed down from gener- 
ation to generation. A.9 a matter of 
fact, there have been times when I 
thought that a strong-armed boss 
would be a good thing— at least in 
the Democratic ranks where, in 
the past, everyone has assumed 
leadership to the point where there 
was no one to follow. Be that as it 
may, I <io not believe that the cre- 
ation of a strong-armed political 
machine can be paipetuated here 
by anybody— not even the present 
Governor. 

Concrete Observations 

"Now for a few present day and 
concrete observations. While we are 
reforming everything else we had 
better give a litfjle attention to re- 
forming our politics. The bankers 
have made a lot of trouble for us. 
no doubt, but only slightly less than 
our politicians. The waste and ex- 
travaganoe of politics and the coo- 
ing dove practices for votes have 
nearly demoralized government* 

"The waste and extravagance for 
political ends in ordinary times Ane 
• bad enough—but to add to them de- 
liberately as a means of recovery, 
only increases the demoralization 
and injury. It ig probably Tiscless 
to state this (ruth now. People 
will not believe it. Only time can 
prove it to them. At present, such 
ideas brand you as a torv, as sub- 



servient to those of special privi- 
lege. Such an assertion gets von 
called names. •'

CURLEY CONTINUES 
DRIVE ON HULTMAN 



Commissioner's Plea for 
Pension Is New Charge 



/ 



By Telegram State House Beporter 

BOSTON, March 28, — Governor 
Curiey continued preparation today 
of the case he will present against 
Kugene C. Hultman, chairman of 
the Metropolitan District commit- 
eion, when removal proceedings 
begin against him before the Gov- 
ernor'a Council on Wednesday. 

The Governor conferred with hi.<? 
counsel, John P. Feeney, today on 
a. report that in 1931 Hultman, for- 
merly police commissioner, applied 
to the Bo.ston Elevated for a $1300 
pension and that it was granted. 

When objection was raised on the 
ground that Hultman, as a paid 
employe of the city, was not en- 
titled to It, the pension wa^ not 
paid. The Governor, it was said, 
will argue that the pension appli- 
cation can be used to support the 
general charge that Hultman 
should not hold a .^tale office. 

Governor Curiey .said he had been 
told that Hultman's pension appli- 
cation was by reason of .service 
•with the elevated a,t on« time at 
a salarv of S.4()m.

Diverting Gasoline Tax 

Money to State Use 



By Telegram State House Beporter 

BOSTON, March 28.— Defending 
the sales tax, in a stirring speech 
on the need of producing new 
sources of revenue, Henry F. Long, 
commissioner of taxation and cor- 
porations, stirred up debate with 
E. A. Filene of Boston during a 
meeting of Governor Curley's 
"brain trust" this afternoon. 

Mr. Long said the sales tax would 
be simple to administer an-i at- 
tacked the theory of soaking the 
rich, setting taxes on the ability 
of people to pay, and argued that 
as a supplement to the income tax, 
and tax on special privileges, there 
should be a tax affecting all citi- 
zens. 

Mr. Filene termed the sales tax 
"the worst possible of all taxae" 
and said it would he borne by peo- 
ple who could least afford it. 

Turning to what, he said were 
dangerous movements to incite 
people in great masses, Mr. Filene 
attacked Dr. Towneend, Father 
Coughlin and Huey Long. He .said 
a sales tax would further a move- 
ment that, if not stopped, would 
ruin the Democratic party and 
plans for reco/ery. 

Governor Curiey said he "shared 
greatly tfiii ii|)Illion of Mr. Fi.ene." 
The Governor touched upon the 
necessity of using gasoline tax 
money and said that deppite reports 
that if more than $6,000,000 were 
diverted that the Federal govern-

lecture on "The Office of the Gover- 
nor as a Sociological Force" at a • 
sociology seminar at Clark univcr- •

He accused the Governor of using 
all hi? power to halt the inquiry 
even though the current progress of 
the investigation "indicate.^ the pos- 
sibility of the gravest, fraud, involv- 
ing thousands of taxpayera' dol-

"Yet," he said, "he would plaster

vention method of choosing ,:.,„di- 
aates-but the politiciane^ run tt 
either way. The lone wolf, the vir- 
ile rouser of animosities, finds the 
primary made to his advantage 



The average run of political m.anip- 
ulatore are conservative in theii 
back parlors and would avoid rad 
ical ideas if they could. If the con 
vention is with them, they are witi 
the convention, but if the conven 
tion is against them, then they art 
against the bosses and with their 
dear people. The politician has 
plenty of gall. 

"Let's pursue the evolution of a 
politician. The few who, from the 
first deliberate attempt or from a 
later acquired desire, are success- 
ful in the quest for office soon be 
gin to like the sense of powei 
which comes with the office. 
■Whence comes this power? To the 
man of practical mind it comes 
from the ability which the office 
furniehes of doing favors, either 
business or political, helping a 
friend or one who can control 
votes to obtain a political posi- 
tion or to get some favor from 
the government. The higher the of- 
fice the greater the power. Thej- 
mayor of a great city controlling'; 
the expenditr ■ of millions of dol-i 
lars without much, if any, check' 
upon his actions ie in a position lo- 
help his friends in a thousand 
ways. He usually does help them.' 
Political power is built upon just 
such favors. Sometimes, the favor , 
is an act of omission. Often an ■ 
act of commission. 

Easy Profits 

"The greatest boon to the poll- J 
tieian, if he usee it to that end, is 
an elaborate system of spending, 
and the unsc upulous man does no; 
he? 'ate to use it that way. The 
man on the inside knows where 
public improvements are going, 
the insiders know where to buy 
and having bought, they also know 
hov,- to sell and the profits fall into 
their laps without risk and then 
easy profits line the pockets of the 
politicians to help perpetuate the 
power and control of governmants. 
It is this line of easy profit tha); ' 
calls forth the strenuous effort of-, 
many men to be on the inside, al- 
ways -with a winner. It \f their life, 
( their "-"lihood. 

"This urge is not in the Interest 
of good government. It Is the 
seed of extravagance and waste 
and corruption. Hidden far awnv 
from the sunshine of sound econ- 
omic principle, it sooner or later 
becomes a malignant growth de- 
stroying all healthy life, and de- 
velopment, draining the resources 
of the people through exorbitant 
taxation and the lncrearf*d costs 
I that follow of necessity behind 
• higher taxes. This results in high- 



er rents, higher cost of foqd ftnd ! 
clothing, lessened abilky fo profit 
in legitimate industry, no power 
to save, then lower wages, until 
finally the whole industrial m.i- 
chine is affected and, in time, be- 
comes sick with economic col- 
lapse. 

Seeking "Votes 
"The mere fact of public spend- 
ing is not the only evil, nor is the 
power perpetuated Boley by reason 
of it. The practical politician 
seeks votes where he can l\nd Ihcra. 
His precious control of government, 
his living, his position in the cotn- 
munity are dependent on this Inside 
control. He must not lose an elec- 
tion. His first question is — what 
do the people want? Where is 
the mass vote? The labor vote. 
He must please that vote, The 
practical man never opposes any- 
thing the so-cailpd leaders ot labor 
advocate, no matter what the cost 
to the people may be. The vet- 
erans—a big- vote. They must be

WORCESTER, March 29- Recent 
ouster actions by Governor Curley 
were assailed by his predecessor, 
Joseph B. Ely, in : ypeech before 
the Clark University Sorioiogy Sem- 
inar here last night. 

Declaring there was "the possi- 
bility of gravest fraud involving 
thousands of taxpayers' dollars," 
Ely atfarljeri Curley for usin(^ his 
power "to -the extent of 'firing' two 
unpaid members of the Finance 
commission in order that there may 



be ijo further investigation of the j 

former cily treasurer." 
Ely spoke on a "Governor In a 

Modem Democracy." He .defended 

hig use of the pardoning power, and ! 

continued his opposition to the ,' 
I'NRA. 

j Referring to recent removals by i 
[Governor Curley, Ely said that "Icey | 
j positions, which are purely execu- j 
itive, .ihould be under Civil Service" 
land spoke of the Department of i 

Banking, Public Work.=, In,iurance ' 
I and Registry of Motor Vehicles as

/ The Pre-Primary Convention. 

Aboli,shmcnt of tlie ))re-i)riniary convention will .short- 
ly come to bat in the legislature. There are three petitions 
for this action on the docket, besides the rocomiiiendntion 
of Gove rnor .C urlc\' that the experiment he abandoned. In 
his inaugural address, (Jovernor Curley said: ">!rlie\iiig 
that the right of the indixidual citizen i.s paramount to llic 
right of any' political party, I respectfully recommend the 
enactment of legi.slation providing for the repeal of tlie pre- 
primary convention act," 

The outcome of the fir.st trial of the arrangement 
last year whereby pruiy conventions, cliosrn in tlie spring 
of the j-car and silting early in the summer, iuade up' offi- 
cial .slates for the fall election is fresh enough in memorv 
not to need recounting. It turned out that although I he 
con\-enlion pro])oscd the ticket, it was Ihe voters who dis- 
posed of it. 

The merit of the, measure as a means for informing 
the rank ,'ind file <if liie partjes as to Ihe idciitity and quali- 
fications of (he candidates for whom they were later to 
vote can hardly be said to have been rslablishcd on the first 
trial, ^^■||elhe further experience wilh it will show tlint it 
is a benefit \vill Ije considered by the legislative committee 
on elections and the legisl.-iture afterwards. 

That llicre is a )jlncc in our political sxslcm for some 
way to reveal to voters more clearly in connection uilh the 
direct primary th" qualifications of candidates i.s beyond 
question. The old convention method, with all its faults, 
served to claril'y the ]>rc-eleclion sitiiali'oti in a measure. 
The pre-primary wa.s c.vjiccted to do this lutter hut ihat 
doubt rests in many minds wlicthor it has done so is appar- 
ent from the dem.ind Ihfit the act of tiic jegislalure estab- 
lisliing it be repealed. 



Efforts to abolish the State 
Board of Industrial Accldenl^; 
headed by Joseph A. Parka, former- 
ly of this city, failed in the Legisla- 
tive Committee on State Adminis- 
tration y.esterday, as did a proposal 
that it be placed under the Depart- 
ment of Labor and Industries. 

The latter plan had been recom- 
mended by Gov. James M. Curley 
in his inaugural address. 

Another Curley propo.sal, that the 
Governor be empowered to apnoint 
commis.sioners and der-,irtment 
heads to serve during his term of 
office, was defeated In the adminis-

Up and Down Beacon Hill 



Although' an unfavorable com- 
mittee report has emerged on the 
proposed flat-rate compulsory auto- 
mobile insurance, the plan stands a 
better chance for success than at any 
time since the idea was first pro- 
pounded. 

For the first time, the legislative 
committee on insurance voted al- 
most evenly on the measure, seven 
members opposing the plan, six 
favoring it, and two re.serving their 
rights. Such a committee vote 
presages a strenuous figlit on the 
floors of tlie House and Senate for 
the flat rate plan which has been 
defeated annually ever since com- 
pulsory insurance started. 

Senator John P. Donovan, chair- 
man of the committee and one of the 
dissenters from the committee re- 
port, is due to lead the fight for flat- 
rate insurance. Representing Chelsea 
and Revere, where the rates are the 
highest in the State, Senator Dono- 
van is in duty bound to favor the 
measure. 

! But none of the flat-rate supporters 
' are naive enough even to hope for 
legislative approval of the plan. Too 
many representatives and senators 
from low-rate districts are anxious lo 
vote "no." These law makers from 
low-rate zones realize that the flat 
rate would boost the charges in their 
districts; so, they argue, why should 
they vote for the plan? 

I > > > 

I But what these legislators may not 
foresee is the day when their rates 
will be raised just through the nat- 
ural cour.se of events. As Senator 
Donovan points out, the high com- 
pulsory insurance charges are driv- 
ing car owners into low-rate dis- 
tricts. Before long this migration 
will result in increased charges in 
the latter zones, and lower rates in 
the high-charge districts. Senator 
Donovan revealed that the number 
of car owners in Chelsea has been 
cut in half since the compulsory law 
went into effect. It is only a matter 
of time before the low-rate man will 
be climbing aboard the flat-rate 
wagon. 

Yet there is a po.ssibility that be- 
fore the flat rate plan is successful 
the compulsory insurance law may 
be abolished entirely. Representa- 
tive Martin Hays, father of the 
compulsory law, is now fighting lor 
its repeal. Within a short time he 
will bring out of his judiciary com- 
mittee a report favoring repeal. Of 
cour.se repeal will not be .successful 
this year. But Representative Hays 
says it is sure to come within a 
year or two. So it appears that a 
long-term race is on between a flat 
rate plan and repeal. 

When the targets of an investiga- 
tion demand to be investigated, 
there is usually some undisclosed 
reason behind the demand. So 
when Ma.ssachiisetts county com- 
missioners asked the legislative com- 
mittee on counties to favor an in- 
vestigation of county expenses, 
State House .sought the reason and 
it was not hard to find. There Is a 
bill before the committee for the 
abolition of county government. 



The county commissioners are I 
convinced that county governmentl 
is an essential part of>the Massa- 
chusetts governmental system They 
believe the expenses are equitable 
for the .services rendered. To foie- 
stall abolition of county govern- 
ment, which is demanded by Gov- 
crnor Curley and Mayor Mansfield, 
thev proposed an investigation. 
It is understood that the committee.! 

members are convinced that an In- 
vestigation should be held to deter- ' 
mine the cost of county government 
and its real worth to the State as a 
whole and that not until such an 
investigation is conducted should 
any action tie taken to abolish it. 

There is no indication as to the 
possible action of the House and 
Senace on the proposed investiga- 
tion, but there seems no valid reason 
why such a study should not be con- 
ducted to reveal the real value or 
lack of value of the county system. 
> > > 
Two plump plums are just about 
ready to fall from the Curley patron- 
age tree. They are appointments of 
a member of the State Alcoholic 
Beverages Control Commission and 
a state commisioner of insurance. 
The terms of the present office hold- 
ers, William A. L. Bazeley and Mer- 
ton L. Brown, respectively, expire 
on April 7. 

These are the first major patron- 
age plums Govern or Curl ey has had 
to hand out withoiit first forcibly 
removing some political enemy. Both 
present officers are Republicans, but 
Mr. Brown is the only one who has 
been a real target for the Governor. 
Governor Curley during his cam- 
paign promised to remove Mr. 
Brown, because of the present high 
compulsory automobile insurance 
rates. Whether he will fulfiU that 
promise is not known. The Governor 
has not attacked Mr. Brown since 
ascending Beacon Hill. But It doe.s 
not appear that the Governor will 
pass up this opportunity to reward 
one of his .staunch supporters. What 
will happen to Mr. Bazeley Is not 
j known. 

1 At any rate, no person has been 

mentioned yet for either post. If the 

' Governor has anyone in mind, he 

'■ is keeping their names strictly to 

himself.

From Other Pens 



' GOVKUNOR CURI.EY 

(Springfield Republican) 
Governo r Cur ley lost temporarily 
his politicaf Acumen in confirming 
the popular impression that he 
would be a candidate next year tor 
the United States Senate. He was 
inept, too, in lotting the public 
think that the present Lieutenant 
(Jovernor would have his support 
for the Governorship. Ther« was 
no generalship in tying up his Sen- 
atorial candidacy with the guber- 
natorial aspirations of the Fall 
River Hurley when there Is another 
Hurley of political importance look- 
ing the same direction as well as 
several leftovers from last year's 
preprimary convention. 

It was not tactful, either, for Mr. 
Curley, In less than three months 
after becoming Governor, to be so 
ruthlessly frank in saying that the 
governorship of Massachusetts is 
not a big enough office for him. 
Most of our Governors honestly 
desire a second term; It is even cus-' 
tomary for the Commonwealth to 
re-elect a Governor, whatever his 
party may be, who has rendered ac- 
ceptiuble service. After some 80 
hectic days In the Governor's suite 
at the State House, Mr. Curley pays 
the office of chief executive of 
Massachusetts the doubtful compli- 
ment of annoimcing In effect that 
one term will be plenty; he's aim- 
ing higher up. 

A United States Senntorshlp may 
he higher up, although there have 
been United States Sen.itors who 
aspired to be Governor,'', yet if one 
may presume to speak for the heart 
of the old I'.ay State, Its pride 1^ 
somewhat hurt by such a palpable 
reflection upon the prestige of a 
grpnt Comm onwealth.

WORCESTER, March 28 (m- 
l-oi-mer Governor Joseph B. Ely to- 
night assailed his successor Gov- 
Pinor James M. Curicy in the 
course of a lecture on -The Ofh.e 
of Governor as a Sociological 
J^orce before a seminar at Clark 
university. 

Ely accused Curley of using "all 
ho power at his command, even 
to ring two unpaid momhers of 
the Finance commission in order 
that (here may be no further Invcs- 
tigalion of the former city tioas- 
ilrer," Edward J. Dolan of Boston, 
Although sach investiRation as 
has taken place," ho said, "indicates 
the possibility of the gravest fraud 
involving thousands of dollars of 
taxpayers' money, he would pla^t-r 
the name of Uultman with slime 
over a few bottles of hootch 

"Nellher the Dolan or HuHman 
charRcs may be true, but why the 
difference in treatment? Why air 
nne lo the bottom and not" (he 
other?" 

The former Rovernor once asain 
a.ssailcd the NRA, asscrtiuR that 
"whatever just i/irat ion it had in 
theory had been ruined by the 
methods used." 

lie decried "waste and extr.nvn- 
fianco for political ends" in ordin- 
ary limes "to add to them." he said, 
"as a deliberate means of recovery,' 
only increases demoralization and 
injury." 

Ho advocated abandonment of 
the processing la.v and said that to 
increase the tax on cotton, would 
mean "soodbye textiles, plepsant 
drcims and good night." 

Tlie former ROvernor further ad- 
vocated the placing of administra- 
tive heads under civil service so 
that competent men, serving the 
slate T»ell, will not he "tossed out 
lo oil 8 political machine or to pay 
a pnlit.jeal debt." He mentioned in 
this c^tcRory Carl Raymond, bud- 
get eopimlssioncr; George J. Cronin,

Federal Funds For Removal 
I Of El Structure Are Sought 

BILL IN LEGISLATURE 
TO REMOVE STRUCTURE 
AT THE PRESENT TIME 



In line with the policy advocated 
by a Bo&ton newspaper which 
would concentrate the millions of 
dollars coming here as Boston's 
share of the Public Worlts Fund 
into one large beneficial project, 
he removal of the Elevated struc- 
ture from Forest Hills to Sullivan 
^quare, is Representative Jahies J. 
Kiley s measure before the Commit- 
tee on Transportation. A hearing 
on Representative Kiley's, bill to 
extend the Washington Street Tun- 
nel to Sullivan Square, and to re- 
move the Elevated structure from 

460 of the State House on Monday. 
Apnl 1 at 10.30 a. m. All locai 
residents are urged to be present. 
In addition to the Boston news- 
Wer, kading political figures are 
^^t.r>g behind the movement 
wh.ch would serve as a boon to 
Charlestown. Hearty approval of 
the measure has been accorded by 
Governor iaais^M^,.., ^ 

Mansfield and Councillor Thomas 
xH. Green, Some month.s ago, Jame.s 
H. Brennan, head of the Charles- 
town Joint Planning Committee, 
advocated the same plan, and wil 
unquc^tmnably give his time to 
paking the step a reality. 

I Representative Kiley's step in 
^yngm^ the measiire before the 
cgisiature next Monday will give 
he advocate.s of the ninn ^i„. 
petus, and with leading Boston po- 
litical figures working in cohesion, 
Charlestown will benefit from the 
project with the rest of the City. 

Commentators on the project 
have all agreed that such a move to 
concentrate on, one large project 
would be far more beneficial to 
Boston and its residents than a 
hundred or more small ones. One 
large project, such as is this pro- 
gram of a new subway through the 
heart of Boston, would add millions 
)f dollars to property values, it is 
felt. 



Co»t Cannot Be Figured 

No one as yet has given a figure 
on what the plan would cost. How- 
ever, with a large allotment of gov- 
ernment funds, .and used in this 
one large project alone, Boston 
could get enough money to do the 
job. It is believed that as a cre- 
ator of employment the plan should 
be as effective as any that might 
be devised. 

Governor in Favor 
Governor Curley announced this 
past week that he would request 
Secretary Harold Ickes, federal 
public works administrator, to in- 
clude $40,000,000 in the PWA pro- 
gram for thi.s. State to provide for 
the removal of the Elevated. He 
further added that he would press 
the matter when he goes to Wash- 
ington in the near futuve.

Ely Charges Cmley Aims 
I To Prevent l)o!an Probe 



speaks On 'Governor's 

Office As Sociological 

Force' 



NVORCESTER, March 28 (AP>— 
Former Governor Joseph B. FJy lo- 
niglit assailed his successor Gover- 
nor James M. Curley in the course 
of a lecture on "The Office of the 
Governor as a Sociological Force " 
before a seminar at Clark Univer- 
sity. 

Ely accused Curley of using "all 
the power at his command, even to 
firing two unpaid members of the 
Finance Commission in order that 
there may be no further investiga- 
tion of the former City Treasurer" 
Edmund J. Dolan of Boston. 

"Although such investigation as 
ha.s talicn placj'," he said, "indi- 
cates the possibility of the gravest 
fraud involving thousands of dol- 
lars of taxpayers money, he would 
plaster the name of Hultman with 
slime over a few bottles of hootch. 

"Neither the Dolan or Hultman 
charge#may be true, but why the 



difference in treatment? Why air 
one to the bottom and not the 
other?" 

The former Governor once agaiir 
assailed the NRA, asserting that 
"rhatever justification it had in 
theory had been ruined by the 
methods used," 

He decried "waste and extrava- 
gance for political ends" in ordi- 
nary times "to add to them' he 
sjid, "as a deliberate means of 
recovery, only increases demoral- 
iaiiion and ini\n-y." 

He advocated abandonment of 
of the processing tax and said, that 
to increase the tax on cotton, would 
mean "goodbye textiles, pleasant 
dreams and good night." 

The former Governor further ad- 
vocating the placing of administra- 
tive heads under Civil Service so 
that competent men, serving the 
Stale well, will not be "tossed out 
to oil a, political machine or to pay 
a political debt." He mentioned 
in this category Carl Raymond, 
budget commissioner; George J. 
Cronin, purchasing agent. Merton 
\V. Brown, in.surancc commissioner 
and Frank E. I/yman, associate 
public works commissioner, all 
State officials.

ing at all. foo often the deprivation 
or a man of his license does not mean 
that ho 3to£SjJici«ii^»r'"¥wT'«**w«,,. 
indeed'tT'tn^e any requirement that 
one show one's papers, save \rhen it 
is too late to do much real gpod. 

Hon, James M. Curley was elected 
governor Of Mkasachusetts on a 
slogan of "work and wages" — which 
meant nothing, as everybody over 
Hevcn knew at the time. It was, 
liowever, just the sort of cheap 
twaddle to awaken the enthusiasm 
of several thousa.nd pop-eyed gulU- 
blcs, who promptly swallowed it 
whole and voted for Curley. Since 
then who has heard much or seen 
t nything of "work and wages?" 
'i'hi.i administration has spent most 
of it.s effort on firing out on their 
ear ail offlcials who did not adhtre 
to the Curley cause, and in Seivlhg 
notice that any one who gets in 
the way of the gubernatorial jugger- 
naut will be made to regret it. The 
suspicion grows that the bigness of 
his vote rather went to the new 
governor's head and has expanded 
it.s size to a point recognized as 
dangerous. No charter of dictator- 
ship was conferred, and people are 
pretty sure to get sick of seeing it 
assumed. The simple fact Is that 
the governor, imbued with an undue 
."icnse of power and popularity, is 
overplaying his hand every day he 
lives. 



One may well be a trifle baffled 
by the governor's statements as to 
ihe reason for switching his weekly 
radio broadcast from WBZ to 
VVNAC. The governor appears to 
say that he thinks it better to send 
;hi3 weekly message over a network 
of stations reaching every part of 
the commonwealth — Implying that 
WBZ is less capable of that feat 
than WNAC, which should be ab- 
surd. He also hints that he is 
p?eved because WBZ allowed other 
people to use the air for bitter criti- 
Jisms of a "personal" nature, dl- 
lected against himself. But why 
not? Has there been any lack of 
bitterness in the attacks made on 
^r.icr men by the governor's loud- 
speaker, Secretary Grant? Indeed 
'.here is in the papers also a state- 
■ncnt that, while maitagers of WBZ 
wore willing enough to trust the 
Ifovernor personally, they had be- 
come uiiea.sy because of the latitude 
if speech indulged in by his hench- 
men, fearing actlon.s for slander. 
On the whole it strikes us that the 
bed-time .story business has been 
gro.ssly overdone and is by way of 
hurting Mr, Curley more than It 
helps him.
